To solve by completing square method we proceed as follows:
2x^2+16x=-18
dividing through by 2 we get:
x^2+8x=-9
but
c=(-b/2a)^2
c=(-8/2)=16
hence
x^2+8x+16=-9+16
x^2+8x+16=7
(x+4)(x+4)=7
(x+4)^2=7
thus getting the square root of both sides
x+4=+/-√7
x=-4+/-√7
x=

What is the rule for reflection?
Temka [501]

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you are reflecting across the x-axis then the point after the reflection should be (x,-y). If you are reflecting across the y-axis the the point after the reflection should be (-x,y). If you are reflecting across the line y=x, then the point after the reflection should be (y,x) If you are reflecting across the line y=-x, then the point after the reflection should be (-y, -x). If you are reflecting across the origin, then the point after the reflection should be(-x,-y). Hope this helps.

Leah would like to earn at least 150 per month. She babysits for $10 per hour and works at an ice cream shop for$12 per hour.Lea
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The solution in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

Write and solve a system of inequalities that models this situation

Let

x ---> represent the number of hours Leah babysits

y ---> represent the number of hours Leah works at the ice cream shop

we know that

<em>Leah would like to earn at least 150 per month</em>

The term "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

so

10x+12y\geq 150 ----> inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area above the solid line 10x+12y= 150

The slope of the solid line A is negative m=-5/6

The y-intercept of the solid line A is (0,12.5)

The x-intercept of the solid line A is (15,0)

Leah cannot work more than a total of 25 hours per month

x+y\leq 25 ----> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area below the solid line B x+y=25  

The slope of the solid line B is negative m=-1

The y-intercept of the solid line B is (0,25)

The x-intercept of the solid line B is (25,0)

using a graphing tool

The solution of the system of inequalities is the shaded area above the solid line A and below the solid line B

see the attached figure

At Union Middle School, 99 boys, or 36% of the boys, play basketball. How many boys attend Union
olasank [31]

Answer:

275

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply

36% of the boys = 99

100% of the boys = x

36/100 = 99/x ===> 36x = 99*100 ===> 36x = 9900 ===> x = 9900/36 ===>

x = 275 boys
