Just answer it correctly and you won’t have to be confused:)))
Because we have two values of x, we can set the two expressions equal to each-other.
x^2 + 6x + 9 = x + 3
Subtract x and 3 from both sides.
x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0
Now that we have all terms on one side, we can find the values of x.
Using the AC method, we can simplify this equation to (x + 2)(x + 3)
The solutions to the system of equations presented are:
<h3>x = -2, x = -3.</h3>
Answer: 6.6 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Since he finished 22% of his skiing in the morning, that means he still has 78% (100% - 22%) of his skiing left.
The remaining 78% is equivalent to 23.4 miles. We need to know the total miles of the skiing. This will be:
78% of x = 23.4
0.78 × x = 23.4
0.78x = 23.4
x = 23.4 / 0.78
x = 30 miles
Since the total skiing is 30 miles and he has 23.4 miles left, the miles covered in the morning will be:
= 30 - 23.4
= 6.6 miles
