Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of it as a Venn diagram. One circle is the people who like dogs, and one circle is the people who like cats. The overlap is people who like both dogs and cats.
190 people in the survey said they like dogs. That includes the people who like both dogs and cats.
141 people in the survey said they like cats. That includes the people who like both dogs and cats.
If we simply add the two numbers together, we'll be counting the overlap twice. So to find the total number of people who like dogs or cats, we have to subtract one overlap.
dogs or cats = 190 + 141 − x
Therefore:
190 + 141 − x + 88 = 339
419 − x = 339
x = 80
80 people said they liked both cats and dogs.
Answer:
x ≈ - 5.32, x ≈ 1.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4
(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ± ( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ±
Thus
x = - 2 - ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 2 + ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
Start by decomposing the number inside the root into primes
Then group the terms into cubes if possible
rewrite the root
then cancel the terms that are cubes and bring them out of the root
