Why do you multiply the tax and the money 3.38 aren’t you supposed to add

The tax is simply the percentage of the amount you paid stacked on top of your total to go to the government. So you'd have your total, multiply the tax, and add that amount to your total.

Solve x²+5x+6=0 by completing the square​
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

x = -2

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x 2+5x+6=0

To solve the equation, factor x^2+5x+6 using formula x^2+(a+b)x+ab=(x+a)(x+b). To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

a+b=5

ab=6

Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 6.

1,6

2,3

Calculate the sum for each pair.

1+6=7

2+3=5

The solution is the pair that gives sum 5.

a=2

b=3

Rewrite factored expression (x+a)(x+b) using the obtained values.

(x+2)(x+3)

To find equation solutions, solve x+2=0 and x+3=0.

x=−2

x=−3

The circumference of Circle F is 72 cm. What is the length of Arc DE (the minor arc)?
Tom [10]

You need to first set up the equation:

It would look like 90 divided by 360 multiplied by the given circumference which is 72 cm.

So 90 / 360 x 72

Simply the fraction above, it will give us:

¼ x 72

So the answer would be 18 cm that is the length of DE (minor arc)

1/2x-5=10-3/4x please helpppppp
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x - 5 = 10 - 3/4x ---> move like terms to the same side

1/2x + 3/4x = 10 + 5 ---> calculate

5/4x = 15 ---> multiply both sides by 4/5

x = 12
