"We buy gallons of gas, but liters of soda. We drive for miles but run the 400-meter dash. Discuss how or why this is true in ou

r country."
I know that we buy gallons of gas but liters of soda because our vehicles need more gas than our bodies "need" soda, but I need help with the second part. :)

Thank you

We drive for miles because the car is a machine with very small limitations and it takes in more substance that helps them go farther than us. We run the 400-meter dash because we didn't take in as much substance for us to have the energy and also we have more limitations than a car. 

I hope that helps!

Help solve equations by completing the square
Allushta [10]

x^2+10x+22=13\\x^2+10x+22-13=0\\x^2+10x+9=0\\

Now completing the square.

(x^2+10x)+9=0\\(x^2+10x+25)+9-25=0\\(x+5)^2-16=0\\(x+5)^2=16

(x+5)² = 16 is the rewritten equation... For first question btw.

For the solutions to the equation -

x+5=\sqrt{16},-\sqrt{16} \\x+5=4,-4\\x=4-5,-4-5\\x=-1,-9

x = -1,-9 is the solution, for the second question.

Which expression is equal to (x+2)(−3x2+3x+1)?
padilas [110]
Multiply everything in the second parenthesis by x.

-3x^3 + 3x^2 + x

Multiply everything in the second parenthesis by 2.

-6x^2 + 6x + 2

Combine these two equations together.

-3x^3 + 3x^2 + x - 6x^2 + 6x + 2

Combine like terms.

-3x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x + 2

Hope this helps!
