Explanation:

Given:

x

2

+

10

x

+

16

=

0

To complete the square put the two

x

terms on the left and the constant on the right of the equation:

x

2

+

10

x

=

−

16

Complete the square by multiplying the

x

-term by

1

2

:

1

2

⋅

10

=

5

and adding the square of this number to the right side of the equation:

UNDERSTANDING CHECK:

.

The

+

25

was not in the original equation. If we add

+

25

to one side of the equation, we must add the same amount to the other side of the equation to keep it balanced.

(

x

+

5

)

=

9

To solve, square root both sides of the equation:

Steve can run 3.5 miles in 30 minutes. If Steve increases his rate by 1/2 mile per hour, how far will he run in 2 hours?
Sati [7]

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Steve runs 3.5 miles in 30 minutes (0.5 hours).  So his speed is:

r = 3.5 mi / 0.5 h

r = 7 mi/h

If his rate increases to 7.5 mi/h, the distance he runs in 2 hours is:

d = 7.5 mi/h × 2 h

d = 15 mi
