Do you remember the special case of factoring the difference of 2 squares ?
x² - 5 = (x + √5) (x - √5)
That will be zero if either factor is zero.
First factor:
x + √5 = 0
<u>x = -√5</u>
Second factor:
x - √5 = 0
<u>x = √5</u>
===================================
Another way to look at it is just to sit there and LOOK at it.
<u>x² - 5 = 0</u>
x² = 5
This is true if x = + or - √5 .
So we have
h=hits
m=miss
h+m=10
gain 5 for every hit and lose 3 for every miss
so 5 times number of hit=points from hit
-3 times number of miss=points deducted from miss
add
5h-3m=18
so we have the equations
h+m=10
5h-3m=18
multiply first equation by 3
3h+3m=30
add to first equatio
3h+3m=30
<u>5h-3m=18 +</u>
8h+0m=48
8h=48
divide by 8
h=6
subsitute
h+m=10
6+m=10
subtract 6
m=4
6 hits
4 miss
