Answer:
x = -3±sqrt( 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 3)^2-5=0
Add 5 to each side
(x + 3)^2-5+5=0+5
(x + 3)^2 = 5
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x + 3)^2 )=±sqrt( 5)
x+3 = ±sqrt( 5)
Subtract 3 from each side
x+3-3 = -3±sqrt( 5)
x = -3±sqrt( 5)
-7x - 2y = 19
4x + y = -12
Set y equal to each other (opposite signs are fine and you could also set x equal instead of y)
-7x - 2y = 19
8x + 2y = -76
Add equations together
x = -52
Plug x value into an equation
4(-52) + y = -12
Solve for y
-208 + y = -12
y = 196
Hope this helps! ;)
Percentage of pages of a book read by Katie = 32%
Total number of pages of the book read by Katie = 80
Let us assume the number of pages that the book has = x
Then
(32/100) * x = 80
32x = 80 * 100
32x = 8000
x = 8000/32
= 250
So the book has a total of 250 pages in it.
Then
The number of pages that Katie still needs to read = 250 - 80
= 170
So Katie needs to read 170 more pages in the book.
