Answer:
(x - 3)² = 10
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
<u>Algebra I</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
x² = 6x + 1
<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>
- Subtract 6x on both sides: x² - 6x = 1
- Complete the Square: x² - 6x + 9 = 1 + 9
- Factor: (x - 3)² = 10
Solve for d:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c is equivalent to 2 d - 3 c = (3 (a + x))/b:
2 d - 3 c = (3 (a + x))/b
Add 3 c to both sides:
2 d = 3 c + (3 (a + x))/b
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer: d = (3 c)/2 + (3 (a + x))/(2 b)
-----------------------------
Solve for x:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
Multiply both sides by b/3:
a + x = (2 b d)/3 - b c
Subtract a from both sides:
Answer: x = (2 b d)/3 + (-a - b c)
____________________________
Solve for b:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
Take the reciprocal of both sides:
b/(3 (a + x)) = 1/(2 d - 3 c)
Multiply both sides by 3 (a + x):
Answer: b = (3 (a + x))/(2 d - 3 c)
Answer:
6 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find this using the ration method.
If, 8 gallons : 192 miles
x gallons : 144 miles
We must find the value of x, which is the number of gallons used to travel 144 miles.
Cross multiply the ratios.
192 x = 8 × 144
192 x = 1152
x = 1152 ÷ 192
x = 6
∴ It takes 6 gallons to travel 144 miles.
