X=2 and x= -8
x^2+6x-16=0
1) Move the constant (-16) to the right of the equal sign: x^2+6x = 16 (becomes positive)
2) Make the left side a perfect trinomial by doing half of 6 (3) then squaring it (9). Add 9 to the 16: x^2+6x+9= 16+9. 
3) Factor the left side, then find the sum of the right side: (x+3)^2 = 25
4) Take the square root of both sides: x+3 =(+/-) 5 (remember it's both positive & negative).
The equation will look like x+3= - 5 and x+3=5

5) solve the two equations: x= -8 and x=2

When you put the x-values back into the problem, it should come out 0. 

Hope this helps

Let's solve your equation step-by-step:
x^2+6x-16=0
Factor the left side of the equation:(x-2)(x+8)=0
Set factors equal to 0: x-2=0 or x+8=0, x=2 or x=-8
Your answer is x=2 or x=-8, doesn't matter which, both are correct.
Hope this helps!:)

Mackenzie has a loyalty card good for a 20% discount at her local hardware store. What would her total in dollars and cents be,
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: $14.0

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to calculate this question, we have to find 20% of $17.45 and then subtract the value gotten from $17.45. This will be:

= $17.45 - (20% × $17.45)

= $17.45 - (0.2 × $17.45)

= $17.45 - $3.49

= $13.96

= $14.0 to nearest cent

The weight of people in a small town in Missouri is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 162 pounds and a standard de
never [62]

Using the normal distribution relation, the probability that sample will exceed the weight limit is 0.004

<u>Using the relation</u> ::

  • Zscore =(X - μ) ÷ σ

The mean, μ = np = (162 × 19) = 3078

The standard deviation, σ = 28 × √19 = 122.049

<u>The Zscore</u> :

Zscore = (3401 - 3078) ÷ (122.049)

Zscore = 2.65

Hence,

P(Z > 2.65) = 1 - P(Z < 2.65)

Using a normal distribution table :

P(Z > 2.65) = 1 - 0.9959

P(Z > 2.65) = 0.004
