Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- x² - 8x - 16 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 to clear the leading negative )

x² + 8x + 16 = 0 ← this is a perfect square

(x + 4)² = 0 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 4

I have just one question, could someone please answer it?? (see linked file)

Annette [7]

The solution is x=1 and y=-2

Further explanation:

Given equations are:

$\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}y=\frac{9}{2}\\3x-y=5$

Multiplying equation no. 1 with 2 will give us:

$7x-y=9$ Eqn 3

From equation no 2:

$3x-y=5\\-y=5-3x\\y=3x-5$

Putting the value of y in eqn 3

$7x-(3x-5)=9\\7x-3x+5=9\\4x=9-5\\4x=4\\\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{4}{4}\\x=1\\Putting\ x=1\ in\ equation\ 2\\3(1)-y=5\\3-y=5\\-y=5-3\\-y=2\\y=-2\\$

The solution is x=1 and y=-2

Elena’s bus runs every 20 minutes. If she arrives at her bus stop at a random time, what is the probability that she will have t

Bond [772]

We try to represent the data in segments from 0 to 20.
<span>The length of the line segment along the number line from 0 to 5 is 5 - 0 = 5 units. The length of the line segment along the number line from 20 to 5 is 20 - 5 = 15 units. If you were to randomly throw a dart on this number line, then the probability of landing in the shaded region is 15/20 = 3/4 or 75%</span>

Solve for v 12v = 18+6v

jekas [21]

12v = 18+6v

move +6v to the other side

sign changes from +6v to -6v

12v-6v= 18+6v-6v

12v-6v= 18

6v= 18

divide by 6 to get v by itself

6v/6=18/6

Answer:

v= 3
