Because we have two values of x, we can set the two expressions equal to each-other.
x^2 + 6x + 9 = x + 3
Subtract x and 3 from both sides.
x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0
Now that we have all terms on one side, we can find the values of x.
Using the AC method, we can simplify this equation to (x + 2)(x + 3)
The solutions to the system of equations presented are:
<h3>x = -2, x = -3.</h3>
For this, we can set up a proportion.
Their aim was 15000, so if they raised 100% of their goal, they wouldve raised exactly 15000.
They raised 557%, so how much did they make?
Proportion:
$15000 100%
$x 557%
Our expression would be x=$15000*557% divided by 100%, which would be $83550, so... a lot of money.
(we did an “x” formation with the proportion, ie “connected” x with 100, and “connected” 15k and 557. The number connecting to x is what we divide the equation by, and the other two are multiplied and then divided by the first number connecting to x. Otherwise we couldve calculated 557% of 15000 and gotten the same result. Whichever way is easier for you :) )
