This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !
You're totally correct, as far you went. x² + 2x does = -1
Now add ' 1 ' to each side: x² + 2x + 1 = 0
Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?
Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.
x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)²
So the solutions of x² + 2x + 1 = 0 are both x = -1 .
Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.
10.20 x 9 = 91.8
( It's William and nine/eight friends, since they're dividing it among ALL people we count William in. )
A: William and nine friends <span>divided the bill evenly. If each person paid $10.20, what was the total bill?
</span>
10.20 x 10 = 102
B: <span>At a restaurant, William and eight friends divided the bill evenly. If each person paid $10.20, what was the total bill?
10.20 x 9 = 91.8
C: </span><span>At a restaurant, William and nine friends divided the bill evenly. If the total bill was $91.80, what did each person pay?
91.80 x 10 = 918
D: </span><span>At a restaurant, William and eight friends divided the bill evenly. If the total bill was $91.80, what did each person pay?
</span>91.80 x 9 = 826.2
So, your answer is B
6w=30; divide 30 by 6 to the w by itself; the answer is 5
