Let's solve your equation step-by-step:
x^2+6x-16=0
Factor the left side of the equation:(x-2)(x+8)=0
Set factors equal to 0: x-2=0 or x+8=0, x=2 or x=-8
Your answer is x=2 or x=-8, doesn't matter which, both are correct.
Hope this helps!:)
17% of the total number of students are in 1st grade
→0.17×500=85 students in 1st grade
19% of the total number of students are in 4th grade
→0.19×500=95 students in 4th grade
<span>The number of 3rd-grade students is 9 less than the number of 4th-grade students.
→95-9=86 students in 3rd grade
</span><span>The number of 2nd-grade students is 10 less than the number of 5th-grade students.
1st grade+4th grade+3rd grade=85+95+86=266
500-266=234=total number of students in 2nd grade and 5th grade
Let x=2nd grade students
Let y=5th grade students
x+y=234
2nd grade students is 10 less than the number of 5th grade students
→x=y-10
Since x=y-10 so we substitute y-10 for x
→y-10+y=234
→2y-10=234
+10 +10
→2y=244
→2y/2=244/2
→y=122 students in 5th grade
x+y=234
→x+122=234
→x=112 students in 2nd grade

Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Py +7 = 6y + qp
Solve the equation for y
To solve the equation for y we need to get y alone
Py +7 = 6y + qp
Subtract 6y from both sides
Py - 6y +7 = + qp
Subtract 7 from both sides
Py - 6y = + qp - 7
Now factor out y
(P - 6)y = qp - 7
Divide by P - 6 from both sides
