Complete the equation involving x. Order terms like the physical situation, and don't simplify. A 6 foot wide painting should be
centered on a 10 foot wide wall. How many feet (x) should be on each side of the painting?
1 answer:
Answer:
The space on each side of the painting = 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Attached this answer is a diagram to give you visuals on how the value of x is calculated
Given:
width of wall = 10 feet
width of painting = 6 feet
Since the painting is centred on a wall, there is meant to be an equal space on each side of the painting, from the diagram, the following eaquation can be gotten
x + 6 + x = 10
2x + 6 = 10
2x = 10 - 6
2x = 4
x = 4 ÷2
x = 2 feet
Therefore, the space on each side of the painting = 2 feet

Answer:
n = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, rearrange the equation to standard form 0 = ax² + bx + c, when everything equals 0.
5n² = 5
5n² - 5 = 0
State the variables a, b and c.
a = 5; b = 0; c = -5
Substitute a, b, and c into the quadratic formula.
Substitute
Simplify inside the √ and bottom

Final answer
Therefore the solution is n = 1.
The quadratic formula usually is written with x, but it can be solved with any variable in standard form.
