STEP 1- since 6 doesn't contain the variable to solve for move it to the right side of the equation by subtracting 6 from both sides
X^2-8X=-6
STEP 2- create a trinomial square on the left side of the equation find the value that is equal to the square of half of b the coefficient of x
(b/2)^2 =(-4)^2
STEP 3- add the term to each side of the equation
x^2-8x+(-4)^2=-6=(-4)
STEP 4- simplify the equation
x^2-8x+16=10
STEP 5- factor the perfect trinomial square into (x-4)^2
(x-4)^2=10
STEP 6-solve the equation for x
x=4= square root of 10
To answer this problem, let p be the price of each scrub. The total bill (t) is the sum of the price of the potting soil (s) and of the 9 scrubs (n). This is depicted in the equation,
$11.50 + 9p = $94.75
The value of p from the equation is 9.25. Thus, each scrub costs $9.25. The answer is letter C.
-2*4=-8
-8 is the correct answer
I assume you're asking for the scale? It would be 4:64, which simplifies to 1:16.
