Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x + 1 = 17

x^2 + 2x = 17 - 1

x^2 + 2x = 16

x^2 + 2x + 1 = 16 + 1

(x + 1)(x + 1) = 17

(x + 1)^2 = 17

x + 1 = sqrt 17

x = -1 (+ - ) sqrt 17

x = -1 + sqrt 17 or x = -1 - sqrt 17 <===

Solve the equation for Y<br> 2x + y = -9

Westkost [7]

Alright, so first we'll have to get y on the other side

2x+y=-9

-y -y

+9 +9

2x+9=-y

Then divide is all by -1 so y is positive

-2x-9=y

Which of the following expressions could be used to find the sale price of an item that costs d dollars if it is on sale for 30%

Elenna [48]

Greetings!

An item at full price is 100%, or by using the percentage formula: $(\frac{percentage}{100})$

If something is at 30% off, that means it is 70% of the original price (because minus the percentage from the 100%)

So by substituting the numbers into the percentage formula you end up with:

$(\frac{70}{100})$ which is 0.7

So your answer would be D, 0.7!

Hope this helps!

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a function has x in the denominator, it cannot be a polynomial.

The rest of the options either don't apply to the equation, or are not rules for polynomials.
