Answer: X= -1 OR X= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Equate ( x-5)² since it occurred twice, hence the reason 2 is added in front of (x-5)²

= (x-5)²

= (x-5)(x-5)

= (x²-5x-5x+25)

= (x²-10x+25)

Step 2: multiply the result by two since it occurs twice and also bring the equation

= 2 (x²-10x+25) +7 = 79

= 2x²- 20x+50+7 = 79

= 2x²- 20x+57 =79

Step 3: most quadratic equation are always equal to zero, let's make this one equal to Zero by subtracting 79 from both sides

= 2x²-20x+57-79 = 79-79

= 2x²-20x-22=0

Step 4: divide the equation by a common number to get the least coefficient of the three coefficients

Dividing the three by 2

(2x²-20x-22)/2 = x²- 10x- 11

Step 5: Factorise completely

Sub step 1 : the first term in the equation is X² which makes the first term coefficient 1; the second term in the equation is -10x which makes the second term coefficient -10, the constant has a coefficient of -11

Sub step 2: multiply the coefficient of the first term (1) and the constant (-11) which gives us (-11)

1*-11 = -11

Sub step 3: Get two numbers in such a way that the addition of the first number and the second number gives the second coefficient in the quadratic equation and the multiplication of the two numbers will give us the product of the first coefficient and the constant.

And the two numbers is +1 and -11, the sum of the two numbers will give us -10 and the product will give us -11.

Step 6: slot the two numbers (+1, -11) into the equation by making themr replace the second coefficient

x²-10x-11=0

= x²+x-11x-11 =0

Step 7: split the equation into two and Factorise further

= (x²+x)(-11x-11) =0

= x(x+1)-11(x+1) = 0

= x+1= 0 or x-11 =0

Step 8 split them into individual equation

= x+1= 0.

Subtract 1 from both sides

= X+1-1=0-1

= x= -1

Or X should be

= x-11=0

Add 11 to both sides

= X-11+11 = 0+11

= x= 11

A number and it's absolute value are equal. If you subtract 2 from the number, the new number and it's absolute value are not eq
yaroslaw [1]
This means that the number is positive. 

The absolute value is the distance away from 0 the number is.

So 1's absolute value would be 1, yet -5's absolute value would be 5.

So the number that's equal to its absolute value is positive, and the one that's not is negative.

So if you subtract 2 from the positive number, it must turn negative.

So 1 is a number that satisfies these conditions.

Eric is adding water to a 60
Archy [21]

Answer:

After 2.5 minutes the pool will have 27 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool has already 12 gallons of water and Eric wants to fill it to at least 27 gallons.

The water is flowing at a rate of 6 gallons per minute.

Let, after t minutes the pool will have at least 27 gallons of water.

Therefore, we can write the equation as  

27 = 12 + 6t

⇒ 6t = 15

⇒ t = 2.5 minutes.

Therefore, after 2.5 minutes the pool will have 27 gallons of water. (Answer)
