Answer:
7.6 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
x = per pound
Equation:
0.65x = 4.94
x = 7.6
The coefficient of the x-term is -3. Add the square of half of that.
.. (-3/2)² = 9/4 . . . . . . the number you need to add.
x² -3x +9/4 = (x -3/2)²
_____
If the x² term has a coefficient other than 1, you need to factor that out first and deal with the remaining binomial. For example,
.. 2x² -6x = 2(x² -3x)
For this you would need to add 9/4 inside parentheses to get
.. 2(x² -3x +9/4) = 2(x -3/2)²
Of course, to keep the original value, you would need to subtract 2*(9/4) outside parentheses.
.. 2x² -6x = 2(x -3/2)² -9/2
yes you can
Step-by-step explanation:
D is a passing grade! ;)
Yes because the larger the bottom number the smaller the amount. :)
Answer:X= 1.84. Y= 3.08
Step-by-step explanation:
-9x+8y =8 ............i
-8x+10y= -16........ii
Multiply equation I by 8
Multiply equation ii by 9
-72x+64y = 64 ..... iii
-72x+90y = 144 ..... iv
Subtract iv from iii
-26y = -80
y= 80/26
y= 3.08
Put the value of y in equation i
-9x+8y =8
-9x+8(3.08) = 8
-9x+24.64 = 8
-9x = 8-24.64
-9x=-16.64
Divide both side by 9
-9x/-9 = -16.64/-9
X= 1.84
