1-(-8)
1+8 (add a line change the sign)
=9
Answer:
5, -9
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 5)(x + 9) = 0 These are factors, to get the roots, just set each one equal to zero
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
x + 9 = 0
x = -9
Answer:
9/4z cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Alex recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches
Cups of flour per batch = 7 1/2 cups ÷ 5 batches
= 15/2 ÷ 5
= 15/2 × 1/5
= (15*1)/(2*5)
= 15/10
Alex recipe per batch= 3/2 cups of flour per batch
paytons recipe uses 3/4 cup of flour more per batch than alexs recipe
Payton's recipe per batch = Alex recipe per batch + 3/4 cups
= 3/2 + 3/4
= (6+3)/4
= 9/4 cups of flour
Payton's recipe per batch = 9/4 cups of flour
What expression can be used to determine the number of cups of flour used to make z batches of paytons pancake recipe
Payton's recipe for z batches = Payton's recipe per batch * number of batches
= 9/4 cups * z batches
= 9/4z cups
Payton's recipe for z batches = 9/4z cups
Answer:
no. see below
Step-by-step explanation:
This much of Josh's working is correct:
x^2-6x=7
x^2-6x+9=7+9
(x-3)^2=16
At this point Josh apparently overlooked the fact that he needed to take the square root of both sides of the equation. Had he done that, he would have ...
x -3 = ±4
x = 3+4 . . . or . . . 3 -4
x = 7 or -1
_____
Josh reported values of x that would match ...
x -3 = ±16
He <em>violated the equal sign</em> by taking the square root on the left, and multiplying by ±1 on the right. Doing different operations on the two sides of the equation will mean the value of x is changed to something other than what you're looking for.
