Answer:Although the Quadratic Formula always works as a strategy to solve quadratic equations, for many problems it is not the most efficient method. Sometimes it is faster to factor or complete the square or even just "out-think" the problem. For each equation below, choose the method you think is most efficient to solve the equation and explain your reason. Note that you do not actually need to solve the equation. a. x2+7x−8=0x
2
+7x−8=0, b. (x+2)2=49(x+2)
2
=49, c. 5x2−x−7=05x
2
−x−7=0, d. x2+4x=−1x
2
+4x=−1.
If you add them together you will get 11g
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
p/5=10
Your main goal is to isolate p
p/5 = 10, in order to eliminate the 5, multiply 5 on both sides, since it's the inverse of division.
(5)p/5 = 10(5)
p=50
Since we know that he ate 1/4 pound one time, and 1/6 another time, we have to add up the fractions.
1/4+1/6
LCM of 4 and 6 = 12
3/12 + 2/12
Add the numerators:
5/12
So, he ate 5/12 of a pound of bars in both breaks.
Hope this helps!
