Answer:

{ - 12, 2 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 10x = 24

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(5)x + 25 = 24 + 25

(x + 5)² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 5 = ± \sqrt{49} = ± 7 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = - 5 ± 7

Thus

x = - 5 - 7 = - 12

x = - 5 + 7 = 2

Solution set is { - 12, 2 }

The driver's tip was $1.45 because the trip cost $8.55 (2.25+1.5+1.5+1.5+1.5+ 0.3) and Eric gave the driver $10 so to find how much the driver got tipped, you need to subtract 8.55 from 10 so $10 - $ 8.55 = $1.45

Pls helps fast!!
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a triangle ABC and EDC please look at the figure

We can see that AE and BD are transversal therefore, ∠EAB=∠AED being alternate interior angles

And ∠ACB=∠DCE are vertically opposite angles hence, equal

So, by AA similarity postulate the above to triangles are similar

ΔABC \sim ΔEDC

Therefore, Option B is correct that is Triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDC , because m∠3 = m∠4 and m∠1 = m∠5

NOTE: m∠3 = m∠4 corresponds to m∠ACB=m∠DCE

And m∠1 = m∠5 corresponds to m∠EAB=m∠AED

Please help ! I am bad at math :(

The angles ∠ABC and ∠CBE together should equal 180º. 
∠ABC is 155º. 
180 - 155 = 25 
So, ∠CBE = 25º. 
Hope this helps!
