The quadratic equation in its generic form is:
ax2 + bx + c
To complete squares we must add the following term:
(b / 2) ^ 2
The equation is:
ax2 + bx + c + (b / 2) ^ 2
We have the following equation:
x ^ 2 - 5x + k = 7
By completing squares we have:
x ^ 2 - 5x + (-5/2) ^ 2 = 7 + (-5/2) ^ 2
Rewriting:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 6.25 = 7 + 6.25
Answer:
A constant term should be used to complete the square is:
6.25
Answer:
Number of small candles = 12
Number of large candles = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Total candles = 28
x + y = 28 ---------------(I)
Cost of 'x' small candles = 4 *x = 4x
Cost of 'y' large candles = 6 *y = 6y
Total amount = $144
4x + 6y = 144 -------------(II)
Multiply equation (I) by (-4) and then add the equation. So, x will be eliminated and we can find the value of 'y'
(I) * (-4) -4x - 4y = -112
(II) <u> 4x + 6y = 144</u> {Now, add}
2y = 32
y = 32/2
y = 16
Plug in y = 16 in equation (I)
x + 16 = 28
x = 28 - 16
x = 12
Answer:
half of a number is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation must contain an equality sign.
The third option is the only phrase that can be represented as an equation: 
Answer: There were 7 children
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use <em>x </em>to represent the children and <em>y </em>to represent the adults.
We know they combine to make a group of 25 people so x+y=25
We also know that they paid $201 and that there is $3 per child and $10 for adults so 3x+10y=201
I will solve by substitution.
Solve for y in the first equation
Sub in our value for y into the other equation and solve for x
Step 1) Simplify
Step 2) Subtract 250 from both sides
Step 3) Divide both sides by -7
Answer:
Y=-x
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=mx+c
y=3, x= -3, m=-1
(-1)(-3)=3
3-3=0
S0,
c=0
y=-x
