Completing the squares tells us exactly what square root we will need to calculate our answer.
Using the formula below you can find these answers:
Does this make sense?
Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem, it's important that we look at the tiles and the the signs that are in front of them. The top row of tiles represents our first expression and the bottom row of tiles represents our second equation.
The two large tiles are positive so they are going to be positive in our equation.
(x² ) - (-x² )
The four blue rectangle tiles are also positive, so they are going to be positive in our equation. The two red rectangle tiles are negative, so they are going to be negative in out equation.
(x² + 4x) - (-x² + 2x)
The two red square tiles are negative, so they are going to be negative in our equation. The four blue square tiles are positive, so they are going to be positive in our equation.
(x² + 4x - 2) - (-x² + 2x - 4)
So, your answer is going to be letter choice C.
You have to put the number in the graph
45 pages total
3 on last page
45-3=42
there are 42 on the rest of the pages
on each page, there are 2 more pages in album than then stamps on pages
amount of stamps on pages with equal number of stamps is
A=numberofpgest times number of stamps on pages
number of pages=p
number of stamps per papge=s
a=ps
2 more pages than stamps on pages
p=2+s
total number of stamps per page is s=(45-3)/(p-1)
(what I did is I first got rid of number of stamps on last page, then got rid of the last page)
P=2+s
s=(45-3)/(2+s-1)
s=42/(s+1)
times s+1 both sides
s^2+s=42
minus 42
s^2+s-42=0
factor
(s-6)(s+7)=0
set equal to zero
s-6=0
s=6
s+7=0
s=-7, false, no negative stamps
6 stamps per page
sub
p=2+s
p=2+6
p=8
8 pages
check
last page is 3 so 8-1=7 page left
7*6=42
3+42=45
correct
there are
8 pages in the album
6 stamps per page
The best thing to do here is to divide $4.85 by 10, and then multiply it by 2.5. $4.85/10= $0.48. $0.48x2.5= $1.20
Therefore,the discount is $1.20, you've then got to subtract this from $4.85. $4.85-$1.20= $3.65
$3.65 is the sale price of the pizza.
Hope this helps :)
