Minus 1 both sides
x²-8x=-1
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
-8 is the linear coefient
-8/2=-4, (-4)²=16
add 16 to both sides
x²-8x+16=16-1
factor perfect squaer trinomial
(x-4)²=15
square root both sides, remember to take positive and negative roots
x-4=+/-√15
not exactly sure what to put in the blnaks
but
the solutions are x=4+√15 and x=4-√15
23+24+25 Add these integers to equal 72.
Hello!
The number of tickets is dependent on age, so age is the independent variable.
Think of it as a y = mx equation. In this equation, x is the input, and y changes depending on the value of x inputted.
In this situation, y is the number of tickets, as y changes depending on the age x inputted. x is age, the independent variable.
Answer:
The area of the rectangle can be found using two different expressions: a(b + c) or ab + ac. The equality of these expressions, a(b + c) = ab + ac, is the distributive property.
Answer:
<u>Problem A</u>
5 * 5 * x * x * x

<u>Problem B</u>
8 * 8 * 8

<u>Problem C</u>
4 * 4 * 4 * x * x * x * x
