16 n^2 -10n + 129 = 8n^2 -8
We collect the terms:
8n^2 -10n + 137 = 0
The steps for completing the square:
1) Move the "non X" (or "non N") term to the right:
8n^2 -10n = -137
<span>2)<span> Divide the equation by the coefficient of N² which in this case is 8
n^2 -1.2n = </span></span><span><span>-17.125
</span>
3) Take the coefficient of "N"; divide it by 2; square it; add it to both sides of the equation.
-1.2 / 2 = -.6
-.6^2 = .36
</span>
n^2 -1.2n +.36 = <span>-17.125
+.36
Take the square root of both sides:</span>
(n-.6)*(n-.6) = sq root(

-16.765

)
That's about as far as I can go.
Let n be the number of minimum chimes needed.
$3500=$12n-$125x5
$4125=$12n
Divide top and bottom by four.
6/7 is the answer
Answer: 72
Step-by-step explanation:
No, the one that Nayo draw was not a quadrilateral since the measurements given does not give a right triangle. The values 16,20 and 25 does not agree with Pythagorean Theorem. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
