How do I solve for x :
2(x-5)^2+13=31
1 answer:
2(x - 5)² + 13 = 31
2(x - 5)(x - 5) + 13 = 21
2(x(x - 5) - 5(x - 5)) + 13 = 21
2(x(x) - x(5) - 5(x) + 5(5)) + 13 = 21
2(x² - 5x - 5x + 25) + 13 = 21
2(x² - 10x + 25) + 13 = 21
2(x²) - 2(10x) + 2(25) + 13 = 21
2x² - 20x + 50 + 13 = 21
2x² - 20x + 63 = 21
<u> - 21 - 21</u>
2x² - 20x + 42 = 0
2(x²) - 2(20x) + 2(21) = 0
<u>2(x² - 20x + 21)</u> = <u>0</u>
2 2
x² - 20x + 21 = 0
x = <u>-(-20) +/- √((-20)² - 4(1)(21))</u>
2(1)
x = <u>20 +/- √(400 - 84)</u>
2
x = <u>20 +/- √(316)
</u> 2
x = <u>20 +/- 2√(79)</u>
2
x = 10 <u>+</u> √(79)
x = 10 + √(79) U x = 10 - √(79)

It cost $5.45 a gallon
just take 54.50 ÷ 10 and it gives you 5.45
Radius= 7cm
Base area= 49pi
Volume= 49pi*4= 196pi=615.75cm^3
Dat be called common difference represented by d in the equation
