X^2+12x+6=0  subtract 6 from both sides...

x^2+12x=-6  halve linear coefficient, square it, and add it to both sides...

x^2+12x+36=30  now the left side is a perfect square...

(x+6)^2=30  take square root of both sides...

x+6=30^(1/2)  subtract 6 from both sides...

x=-6-30^(1/2) and -6+30^(1/2)

Which sentence below represents the number of test questions in the problem below?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: there are 10 multiple choice questions and 15 short-answer questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of multiple choice questions in the test.

Let y represent the number of short-answer questions in the test.

If the test has 25 questions, it means that

x + y = 25

Multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points, and short-answer questions are worth 4 points. The test is worth a total of 80 points. It means that

2x + 4y = 80 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 25 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(25 - y) + 4y = 80

50 - 2y + 4y = 80

- 2y + 4y = 80 - 50

2y = 30

y = 30/2 = 15

x = 25 - y = 25 - 15 = 10

A. The number of multiple-choice questions plus the number of short-answer questions is 25.

A box company is designing a new rectangular gift container. The marketing department has designed a box with a width 2 inches s
Sladkaya [172]
Volume of the box= <span>56 cubic inches
let x is the length, then
width =</span><span>2 inches shorter than its length = x - 2
</span>height =  <span>3 inches taller than its length = x+3
Volume = length x width x height
56 = x x (x-2) x (x+3)
56 = (x</span>² -2x)(x+3)
56 = x³ +3x² -2x² - 6x
56 = x³ + x² -6x
x³+x²-6x-56 = 0
using the rational root theorem and factoring the polynomial;
(x-4)(x² +5x +14) = 0
from here;
x-4 = 0
x = 4
So, length = 4 inches
width = x - 2 = 4 -2 = 2 inches
length = x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 inches
volume = l x w x h = 4 x 2 x 7 = 56
