Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6(9x − 10) + 2(18 − 3x) = −8

<em>use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

6(9x) + 6(-10) + 2(18) + 2(-3x) = -8

54x - 60 + 36 - 6x = -8 <em>combine like terms</em>

(54x - 6x) + (-60 + 36) = -8 <em>Answer: Add -60 and 36</em>

48x - 24 = -8 <em>add 24 to both sides</em>

48x = 16 <em>divide both sides by 48</em>

x = 16/48

x = 1/3

About 12.56 units.
Solve for x by plugging in values into Pythagorean theorem.
$a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}$
$x^{2} +(x+12)^{2} = 34^{2}$
Simplify
$2x^{2} + 24x+144 = 1156$
Subtract 144 from both sides
$2x^{2} + 24x = 1012$
divide both sides by 2
$x^{2} + 12x = 506$
complete the square
$x^{2} + 12x + 36 = 506 +36 . = (x+6)^2 = 542$
take the square root of both sides.
$x+6 = 23.28$
subtract by 6 to get about 17.28 for x.
Plug in values for x to get distance traveled on outside of the yard.
17.28 + (17.28 +12) = 46.56
subtract 34 from the length to get the difference in travel. 46.56-34=12.56

Naily [24]

Answer: FALSE

Reason: The Discriminant determines how many or what are the nature of the roots. To get the Discriminant of a quadratic equation, find the square the value of 'b' subtracted to the product of 4, the value of 'a', and the value of 'c'.

hope this helps :)
