X/2 - 6 = 15
x/2 -6 +6 = 15 + 6
x/2 = 21
x/2 × 2 = 21 × 2
x = 42

Check
42 ÷ 2 - 6 = 15
42 ÷ 2 = 21 -6 = 15

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2} +10x-49=0$ ---> given problem

step 1

Move the constant to the right side

$x^{2} +10x=49$

the step 1 is correct

step 2

Complete the square

$x^{2} +10x+5^2=49+5^2$

$x^{2} +10x+5^2=74$

<u><em>The step 2 is not correct</em></u>

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+5)^{2}=74$

step 4

take square root both sides

$x+5=\pm\sqrt{74}$

step 5

Find the values of x

$x=-5\pm\sqrt{74}$

$x=-5+\sqrt{74}$

$x=-5-\sqrt{74}$

Karen invested $2,000 in a special savings account.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

D. $512,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if the balance doubles every 5 years, then dividing 40 by 5 gives us the number of times the money will double, which is 8. We can then turn this into the equation $2000(2^{8})$ . $2^8$ can be simplified to 256. Multiply that by 2000 and we get our answer, 512000. Hope this helps!
