16 n^2 -10n + 129 = 8n^2 -8

We collect the terms:
8n^2 -10n + 137 = 0

The steps for completing the square:

1) Move the "non X" (or "non N") term to the right:

8n^2 -10n  = -137

<span>2)<span> Divide the equation by the coefficient of N² which in this case is 8
n^2 -1.2n = </span></span><span><span>-17.125 </span>

3) Take the coefficient of "N"; divide it by 2; square it; add it to both sides of the equation.
-1.2 / 2 = -.6
-.6^2 = .36

</span>
n^2 -1.2n +.36 = <span>-17.125 +.36

Take the square root of both sides:</span>
(n-.6)*(n-.6) = sq root( <span> <span> <span> -16.765 </span> </span> </span> )
That's about as far as I can go.

Answer:

A=(4-g) 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g be the amount of glycerin in the lotion.  We know that there are 4 ounces total of lotion; this means that there are 4-g ounces of the oil blend.

The oil blend costs $1.50 per ounce; this gives us the expression (4-g)1.5 for the oil blend.
