Rearrange the equation by writing
x² + x - 90 = 0
x² + x = 90
x² + x + 1/4 = 90 + 1/4
Recall that (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b². Then
x² + 2 • x/2 + (1/2)² = 361/4
(x + 1/2)² = 361/4
x + 1/2 = ± √(361/4)
x = -1/2 ± 19/2
x = 9 or x = -10
6.38 x 3 = $19.14 for 3 pairs of earrings
19.14 + 2.50 = $21.64 total
The first blank is segment addition postulate and the second blank is substitution property of equality
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
12x - 2 + 20x - 10 = 180
32x - 12 = 180
32x = 192
x = 6
12*6 - 2
72 - 2 = 70
the solution is b
