Answer:
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentation:
x^2 - 10x = -8
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8
x^2 - 10x - 25 = -33
Begin with x^2 - 10x = -8. Here's the process for completing the square:
1. Take half of the coefficient of x and square the result:
(1/2)(-10) = -5, and then (-5)^2 = + 25
2. Add this 25 to the first two terms of x^2 - 10x = -8 and also to the constant -8: x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8 + 25, or x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
3. Match this result to one of the given possible answers. Turns out that the given possible answer matching our result is the first one:
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
Answer:
x= -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4x + 10 = 2x + -14
Reorder the terms:
10 + 4x = 2x + -14
Reorder the terms:
10 + 4x = -14 + 2x
Solving
10 + 4x = -14 + 2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
10 + 4x + -2x = -14 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x
10 + 2x = -14 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
10 + 2x = -14 + 0
10 + 2x = -14
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 2x = -14 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 2x = -14 + -10
2x = -14 + -10
Combine like terms: -14 + -10 = -24
2x = -24
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -12
Simplifying
x = -12

Answer:
The base cost of the camera, exclusive of sales tax, is $160.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up this equation and solve for x, which is the cost of the camera:
$3.20 = $0.02x [0.02 = 2%]
Solve the equation by dividing $3.20 by 0.02. The answer is $160.
