Answer:
x = 5 or x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 6x + 7 = 0
x² - 6x = -7
x² - 6x + 9 = -7 + 9 1/2 of the x term than square it and add it the both sides.
(x - 3)(x - 3) = 2
( x -3)² = 2
= 
(x - 3) = ± 2
x - 3 = 2 or x - 3 = -2
x = 5 or x = 1
Answer:
Solutions are -10 and 26
Step-by-step explanation:
( - the abolute sign I'm using
( x - 8 ) + 2 = 20
( x - 8 ) = 18
x - 8 = 18 (postive case)
x - 8 + 8 = 18 + 8
x = 26
( x - 8 ) = 18
x - 8 = -18 (negative case)
x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8
x = -10
Answer:
1 hour and 45 minutes
and 1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
x= run
y= walk
5x+2.5y = distance
5x+2.5(1.5)=12.5
solve for x
5x=8.75
x=1.75
1.75 in hours is 1 hour and (60*.75)=45
1 hour and 45 minutes
" If the marathon race participant ran for 2 hours, how many hours did the participant walk?"
We use the same equation
5x+2.5y=distance
we'll assume that they till walked 12.5 miles
which means that
5(2)+2.5y=12.5
solve for y
2.5=2.5y
y=1
1 hour
