Answer:

Carlotta needs 24 orange beads for her necklace.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each necklace, the ratio of blue beads to orange beads is 3 to 2. or 3:2

Total beads given to make a necklace is = 60

Let the number of orange beads be = x

The ratio is 2 orange beads out of 5 total beads

So, we can represent the ratio as:

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{60}

5x=120

x=24

Hence, Carlotta needs 24 orange beads for her necklace.

Blue beads needed = 60-24=36

We can also check the ratio for blue beads to orange beads:

\frac{36}{24}

Divide by 4, we get

\frac{9}{6}

Divide by 3, we get

\frac{3}{2}  ...... (the given ratio)

Therefore, Carlotta needs 24 orange beads for her necklace.

How to solve x^2+x-90=0 in completing the square method​
tigry1 [53]

Rearrange the equation by writing

x² + x - 90 = 0

x² + x = 90

x² + x + 1/4 = 90 + 1/4

Recall that (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b². Then

x² + 2 • x/2 + (1/2)² = 361/4

(x + 1/2)² = 361/4

x + 1/2 = ± √(361/4)

x = -1/2 ± 19/2

x = 9   or   x = -10
