Answer:

x = 5 + sqrt(7) or x = 5 - sqrt(7)

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 10 x + 26 = 8

Subtract 26 from both sides:

x^2 - 10 x = -18

Add 25 to both sides:

x^2 - 10 x + 25 = 7

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 5)^2 = 7

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 5 = sqrt(7) or x - 5 = -sqrt(7)

Add 5 to both sides:

x = 5 + sqrt(7) or x - 5 = -sqrt(7)

Add 5 to both sides:

Answer:  x = 5 + sqrt(7) or x = 5 - sqrt(7)

Olivia family drove to Disney land For spring break. Her mom and dad shared the driving duties for a total of 14 hours. her mom
Kay [80]

Mom drove for 11 hours.

Dad drove for 3 hours.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • Total hours = 14 hours
  • Total distance = 895 miles
  • Mom drove a speed of 65 mph
  • Dad drove a speed of 60 mph

Let 'x' be the number of hours drove by mom.

Let 'y' be the number of hours drove by dad.

x + y = 14     ---------------(1)

65x + 60y = 895  ---------(2)

Multiply eq(1) by 60 and subtract eq(2) from (1),

60x + 60y = 840

-(<u>65x + 60y = 895</u>)

 <u> -5x   = -55    </u>

x = 55/5

x = 11

∴ Mom drove for 11 hours.

Substitute x=11 in eq(1)

11+y = 14

y = 3

∴ Dad drove for 3 hours.

A system of equations is graphed on the coordinate plane. y=−2x−3y=−2x+2 Graphs of the equations y equals negative two x plus tw
AleksandrR [38]
In y = mx + b form, the slope will be in the m position and the y int will be in the b position

y = -2x + 2....slope = -2 and y int = 2
y = -2x - 3.....slope = -2 and y int = -3

when u have 2 lines that both have the same slope but different y intercepts, u have parallel lines with no solution because ur lines never intersect.

so ur answer is : no solutions or 0 solutions

Find the total surface area of this square based
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

300ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area = Area of base + (1/2) x perimeter of base x slant height

Area of base = length² = 10 x 10 = 100

Perimeter of base = 2 ( length + breadth)

2 x 20 = 40

slant height = 10

100 + (1/2) x 40 x 10 = 300 ft^2
