Answer:
x ≈ - 9.41, x ≈ - 6.59
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 16x + 62 = 0 ( subtract 62 from both sides )
x² + 16x = - 62
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(8)x + 64 = - 62 + 64
(x + 8)² = 2 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 8 = ±
( subtract 8 from both sides )
x = - 8 ± 
Hence
x = - 8 -
≈ - 9.41
x = - 8 +
≈ - 6.59
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of years
In x years, Mai's mother's age will be: 28 + x
and Mai's age will be: 12 + x
Then, 28 + x = 2(12 + x)
Distribute the 2 28 + x = 24 + 2x
Subtract 24 from each side 4 + x = 2x
Subtract x from each side x = 4
In four years, Mai's mother will be twice Mai's age.
<em>Check:
</em>
28 + 4 = 2(12 + 4)
32 = 2 × 16
32 = 32
I actually just learned this in 8th grade and it was so easy its crazy but its honestly simple it helps you solve the triangles and things and the equation is a squared + b squared = c squared and the a and b you would plug in the sides of the triangle or whatever shape your working with and square those numbers then find c by adding the two and then you square the c at the end and that will be your answer.
Here is the equation:

⇒

You need to get "x" by itself so minus 3 from each side

⇒

⇒

Divide 8 by 2

÷

x=4
So each 4 is equivalent to 4
Lets check:

⇒

So that means that Marcus practiced the piano for 4 hours and Donnel practiced for 7
Answer: 30 degrees
Step-by-step explanation: Vertical angles are always congruent. If Angle A and Angle B are vertical then they are equal to each other. They both will way thirty degrees.
