Answer:
no. see below
Step-by-step explanation:
This much of Josh's working is correct:
x^2-6x=7
x^2-6x+9=7+9
(x-3)^2=16
At this point Josh apparently overlooked the fact that he needed to take the square root of both sides of the equation. Had he done that, he would have ...
x -3 = ±4
x = 3+4 . . . or . . . 3 -4
x = 7 or -1
_____
Josh reported values of x that would match ...
x -3 = ±16
He <em>violated the equal sign</em> by taking the square root on the left, and multiplying by ±1 on the right. Doing different operations on the two sides of the equation will mean the value of x is changed to something other than what you're looking for.
Answer:
$0.40
Step-by-step explanation:
1st week total: 12.99 + 10.50 + 9.89 + 6.90 + 7.58 = $47.86
5 days total so the mean of 1st week: 47.86 / 5 = $9.57
2nd week, 2 more in total of 1st week = $47.86 + $ 2 = $49.86
The mean of 2nd week: 49.86 / 5 = $9.97
$9.97 - $9.57 = $0.40
2nd week increased 40 cents or $0.40
Answer:
On dividing, we found that the quotient is (x-4) and the remainder is equal to 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the quotient and the remainder for the following (x²-10x+24)÷(x+6).
The numerator is (x²-10x+24) and the denominator is (x+6). It can be written as :
On dividing, we found that the quotient is (x-4) and the remainder is equal to 0.
Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
x = 237/3
x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79
Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80
the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81
ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81
