To solve using completing square method we proceed as follows:
x^2-10x+8=0
x^2-10x=-8
but
c=(b/2)^2
c=(10/2)^2=25
thus we can add this in our expression to get
x^2-10x+25=8+25
factorizing the LHS we get:
(x-5)(x-5)=33
(x-5)^2=33
getting the square roots of both sides we have:
x-5=+/-√33
x=5+/-√33
Answer:
2.52
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 15.5 = 28.1
subtract 15.5 from both sides
5x = 12.6
divide both sides by 5
x = 2.52
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
Hello!
3x/4 + 6=42
3x/4=42-6 = 36
3x = 36*4
3x = 144
x= 144/3 =48
3/4 of 48 = (48*3) / 4 =36
36+6=42
the original number is 48
2x-1=5
2(3)-1=5
6-1=5
5=5
x=3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex would be the highest/lowest point so lets factor this first
when we factor we get
2(x^2+6x+8)
2(x+4) (x+2)
Using zero product property we find the 2 x values and x intercepts are
-4 and -2
the middle point of these points is -3
Substitute -3 for x and solve
2(-3+4) (-3+2)
2 * 1 * -1
2*-1
-2
(-3,-2) is the vertex
