costs $15.00. Molly thinks that she can buy 8 shirts, but Maddie says that Molly can buy 7 shirts. The equations they used to model the problem are listed below.
Solve each equation algebraically, justify your steps, and determine who is correct and why.

Step-by-step explanation:

let us start with

Molly's equation

15x + 10 = 100

solving for x we have

15x=100-10

15x=90

x=90/15

x=6

Maddie's equation

15x - 10 = 100

solving for x we have

15x=100+10

15x=120

x=120/15

x=8

well, from the solution niether of them is correct

Find the values of a and b such that x2 - 2x + 2 = (x -a) + b LOADS OF POINTS ON THE LINE!!!
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize using square root method.

x² - 2x + 2 = (x-a)² + b

x² -2x + 1 + 1 = (x-a)²+b

(x² - 2*x*1 + 1²) + 1 = (x -a)²+ b       {Compare with a²- 2ab+b² which is (a - b)²}

(x - 1)² + 1 = (x - a)² + b

a = 1 and b = 1

1252 divided by 48 equals 26 r 4
Ksenya-84 [330]
I assume that in this question, you are asked to evaluate the value(s) of r. To answer that question, dividing 1252 by 48 gives us 26.0833 or 26. Mathematically expressing the solution,
                                         26 = 26r^4
Then, divide the equation by 26, giving us 1 = r^4. Evaluate r. This will give us answers of +-1.

Find all points having an x coordinate of 5 whose distance from the point (2,2) is 5.
stepan [7]

Answer:

(5,6) , (5,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required point be P(5,y).

Its distance from (2,2) is 5 units.

So, (5-2)^{2} + (y-2)^{2} = 25.

So, 3^{2} +  (y-2)^{2} = 25.

  9 +  (y-2)^{2} = 25.

   (y-2)^{2} = 16

    Two cases are possible for now

case 1 : y-2 = 4 .

            y = 6

required point will be (5,6)

case 2 : y - 2 = -4.

              y = -2.

required point will be (5,-2).

Two points are possible : (5,6) , (5,-2).
