Answer:
x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4
(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ± 
( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ± 
Thus
x = - 2 - ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 2 + ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The Answer is 64 and I got that by doing 6.4 × 10 = 64
Let Zia's age be = x years
Raj is three years older than Zia, so Raj's age = x+3 years
As the sum of the squares of their ages is 369, so
Factoring 2 out we have,
Now solving this equation,
x=-15 and x=12
Neglect the negative value as x cannot be negative
So x=12
Hence, Zia's age is 12 years and
Raj's age is 12+3 = 15 years
