The first step to solve this question is to find out what 5/6 of 54000 is. So we multiply 5/6 by 54000. Why? Because there's the word "of" and "of" is usually associated in multiplication. So:

5/6 × 54000 = 45000.

So now we know that 5/6 of 54000 is 45000. So it means that she needs 45000 from senior citizens. But the question doesn't stop there, it also asks us to solve for the amount of votes she needs to win other than senior citizens.

Now we know that 45000 seniors need to vote for her we subtract 45000 to the total amount which is 54000.

54000 - 45000 is 9000.

So it means that she needs 9000 voters other than senior citizens to win the election for city council.

If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x^2-10x-13=0, which number would have to be added t
Maru [420]

Answer: The solution to the problem is based on the solutions

from the subproblems.

x = {8.464101615, 1.535898385}

Step-by-step explanation:  

x^2-10x+13=0

Simplifying

x2 + -10x + 13 = 0

Reorder the terms:

13 + -10x + x2 = 0

Solving

13 + -10x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-13' to each side of the equation.

13 + -10x + -13 + x2 = 0 + -13

Reorder the terms:

13 + -13 + -10x + x2 = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0

0 + -10x + x2 = 0 + -13

-10x + x2 = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 0 + -13 = -13

-10x + x2 = -13

The x term is -10x.  Take half its coefficient (-5).

Square it (25) and add it to both sides.

Add '25' to each side of the equation.

-10x + 25 + x2 = -13 + 25

Reorder the terms:

25 + -10x + x2 = -13 + 25

Combine like terms: -13 + 25 = 12

25 + -10x + x2 = 12

Factor a perfect square on the left side:

(x + -5)(x + -5) = 12

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.464101615

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting  

(x + -5) equal to 3.464101615 and -3.464101615.
