Group x terms
(2x^2+8x)-12=0
undistribute 2
2(x^2+4x)-12=0
take 1/2 of 4 and square it, add negative and positive of it insde (2^2=4)
2(x^2+4x+4-4)-12=0
factor perfect square
2((x+2)^2-4)-12=0
distribute
2(x+2)^2-8-12=0
2(x+2)^2-20=0
add 20 to both sides
2(x+2)^2=20
divide both sides by 2
(x+2)^2=10
sqrt both sides, remember to take positive and negative root
x+2=+/-√10
minus 2 both sides


x=-2+√10 and -2-√10

Answer:

5(P - 1.00) + 3(P - 0.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a package in store A = $P

Discount offered at store A = $1.00

Price paid per package at store A = Cost of a package in store A - Discount offered at store A

= P - 1.00

Cost of a package in store B = $P

Discount offered at store B = $0.75

Price paid per package at store B = Cost of a package in store B - Discount offered at store B

= P - 0.75

Total cost of 5 packages at store A and 3 packages at store B = 5(P - 1.00) + 3(P - 0.75)

Find the length of the segment with endpoint Y(4, 3) and midpoint M(1, 7).
inessss [21]

Answer:the length is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

since m is the midpoint it is 3 away from y on the x axis and 4 away on the y axis

so if you go the same distance away from the midpoint you get -2, 11

so -2 is 6 away from 4 away and 3 is 8 away from 11

6^2  = 36

8^2 = 64

36+64= 100

the square root of 100 is 10
