Answer:
x = 2.5 or -0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to use completing the square method to solve for the values of x
Firstly, we divide through by 4
= x^2 -7/4x -2 = 0
Now, we move the two term to the right hand side
x^2 -7/4x = 2
Now, we divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it;
That would be;
(-7/4 * 1/2)^2 = 49/64
we now add this value to both sides of the equation
x^2 -7/4x + 49/64 = 2 + 49/64
The right hand side can be rewritten as;
(x-7/8)^2 = 177/64
taking the square root of both sides
x-7/8 = √(177/64)
x = 7/8 ± √(177/64)
x = 7/8 + √(177/74) or 7/8 - √(177/64)
= x = 2.53802 or -0.788017
Which to the nearest tenth is
x = 2.5 or -0.8
Answer:
y=40-15x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours.
We have been given that Dudley travels 30 miles every 2 hours, so distance covered in each hour by Dudley would be:
.
Since Dudley travels 15 km per hour, so distance covered in x hours would be 15x.
We have been given that Dudley wants to cover 40 miles. So we can represent our given information in an equation as:
, where, y represents number of miles he has left to travel, after biking x hours.
Answer:
2x times 10 im guessing
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be the distributive property. :)
Ok the question dosent make sence you said hundreds place but it only goes up to tenths so if we were going by tenths place the answer would be 70
i hope i helped
