Answer:

x = -15 and x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have to use the complete the square method, we first need to <u>rewrite the equation</u> in the form x^{2}+2ax+a^{2}=(x+a)^{2}.

This results in x^{2} + 14x + 7^{2} = 15 + 7^{2}.

Next, we <u>simplify the equation</u> to get x^{2} +14x+7^{2} = 64.

<u>Factoring </u>the left side gives us (x+7)^{2} = 64.

Finally we <u>solve the equations</u>: x+7=\sqrt{64} and x+7=-\sqrt{64}.

This gives us  x=1, and x=-15

Miguel plots points A, B, and C in the coordinate plane.
serg [7]

Answer:

part a: 5

part b: no, ABC is not an equilateral triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

part a: if you do the distance formula for points A and B, you get 5

part b: using the distance formula again, points A to B and points A to C are both 5, but points B to C is 6, therefore it's not equilateral because all the sides have to be the same length

The gross weight of a package and its contents is 11 pounds 5 ounces. If the packaging weighs 1 pound 15 ounces, what's the net
dsp73
Answer A
For ease convert both into ounces.

Gross = (11x16) + 5 = 181 ounces
Packaging = (1x16) + 15 = 31 oz.

Now subtract Packaging from Gross

181 - 31 = 150 oz.

Divide by 16 to get pounds

150/16 = 9.375 - hence 9 lb.

and multiply 16 by .375 for ounces

0.375 x 16 = 6 oz.

Thus A : 9lb 6 oz
