Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an equation in one variable x.

It is as follows:

-5.4+x=12.2

To solve for x, we must make left side only with x and eliminate -5.4

For this only way is to add 5.4 to both the sides of the equation without affecting the equality.

When we add 5.4 to both sides -5.4 gets cancelled with 5.4 and make left side only x

-5.4+x=12.2

+5.4       5.4

------------------

x         =17.6

Thus we get answer correctly as 17.6

Kaitlin instead subtracted 5.4 from both the sides which made the equation

as

-10.8+x=6.8

Thus her answer 6.8 is incorrect

X^2 + bx + 49 is a perfect squad trinomial what is one possible value of b? & I need help with the others also due soon!
Svetlanka [38]

20. (2) 14

A perfect square trinomial will factor into two expressions that are the same, for example: x^2 + 6x + 9 = (x + 3)(x + 3). Since this problem has a C value of 49, it will factor into (x + 7)(x + 7). 7 doubled is 14, therefore one possible value of B is 7.

21. (4) 2, -12

x^2 + 10x + 25 = 24 + 25

(x + 5)^2 = 49

x + 5 = +/- 7

x = 2, -12

22. (3) 3 + sqrt(17)

x^2 - 6x = 8

Complete the Square

x^2 - 6x + 9 = 8 + 9

(x - 3)^2 = 17

x - 3 = +/- sqrt(17)

x = 3 + sqrt(17), 3 - sqrt(17)

23. (1) 1, -5

x^2 + 4x - 5 = 0

x^2 + 4x = 5

x^2 + 4x + 4 = 5 + 4

(x + 2)^2 = 9

x + 2 = +/- 3

x = 1, -5

Hope this helps!
