Ax^2+bx+c=d
to comlete teh square
minus c to both sides
make sure a=1, if not, divide both sides by a
take 1/2 of b, then square that and add that to both sides

so
x^2+10x=26
c is already over
a=1
b=10
10/2=5
5^2=25
add 25 both sides
x^2+10x+25=26+25
factor
(x+5)^2=51
sqrt both sides
x+5=+/-√51
 minus 5
x=-5+/-√51

x=-5+√51 or -5-√51

                        x² + 10x = 26
                x² + 10x + 25 = 26 + 25
          x² + 5x + 5x + 25 = 51
x(x) + x(5) + 5(x) + 5(5) = 51
         x(x + 5) + 5(x + 5) = 51
                 (x + 5)(x + 5) = 51
                          (x + 5)² = 51
                             x + 5 = ±√(51)
                                 - 5      - 5
                                   x = -5 ± √(51)
                                   x = -5 + √(51)    or    x = -5 - √(51)

A group of 72 children completed a survey on what kind of sport they like. The choices were: Chess, Swimming, and Football. Ever
Svetach [21]

Answer:

19/72

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability that a randomly-chosen child from this group likes either Chess or Swimming but not Football?

We already know the number that liked chess only which is 10, we have to solve for those that liked swimming only which is

8+7+16+x = 40

x which represent swimming only is

40-31 = 9

Thus probability = 10/72 + 9/72 = 19/72
