completing the square
Mathematics

Answer:

<h3>x = 3/2 ± √(61/20)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 15x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides.

5x² - 15x = 4

The coefficient of 5x² is 5, divide both sides by 5.

x² - 3x = 4/5

The coefficient of -3x is -3. Let b=-3.

Then we need to add (b/2)^2=9/4 to both sides to complete the square.

Add 9/4 to both sides.

x² - 3x + 9/4 = 61/20

Factor left side.

(x-3/2)² = 61/20

Take square root of both sides.

x-3/2 = ± √(61/20)

Add 3/2 to both sides.

x = 3/2 ± √(61/20)

"the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 13. reversing the digits produces a number that is 9 less than the original numb
Ksenya-84 [330]
Suppose the one's digit is x, the ten's digit is y. the original number is 10y+x, the reversed number is 10x+y

x+y=13
(10x+y)=(10y+x)-9 =>9y-9x=9 =>y-x=1
Add the two equation to solve: 2y=14 =>y=7
x=13-7=6
the original number is 76.

The first question is 50% because a total of 30 girls bought lunches out of 60 kids

the second question, the easiest way is to plug in the x and y coordinates
3(4) - 2(0) = 12
12-0=12
12=12
because 12 = 12 is true, the first pair is the answer
