Equation: x² - (x - y)² * y
Substitute values for x and y into equation.
-> (-5)² - ( (-5) - (-8) )² * (-8)
-> 25 - (-5 + 8)² * (-8)
-> 25 - (3)² * (-8)
-> 25 - 9 * (-8)
-> 25 - (-72)
-> 25 + 72
-> 97
The answer is x=3, so that is false.
Because an octagon consists of eigth sides/edges, and 360 degrees is the total sum of the angles, we simply divide 360 by 8:
360/8 = 45.
Option A, 45 degrees
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the boy's present age be x.
Let his dad's present name be y.
Last year, his dad was 8 times as old as him. Subtract one year from each their ages and multiply the son's age by 8:
(y - 1) = 8(x - 1) ______ (1)
Now, his dad's age is the square of his age:
y = _________(2)
From (1):
y = 8x - 8 + 1
y = 8x -7
Put this in (2):
This problem has been represented in the form of a quadratic equation.
