Answer:
x = 2±sqrt(11)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 -4x - 7 =0
Add 7 to each side
x^2 -4x -7+7 =0+7
x^2 -4x =7
To complete the square take the coefficient of the x term and divide by 2 and then square it. Add it to both sides
-4 /2 = -2 then square
(-2)^2 = 4
Add 4 to both sides
x^2 -4x+4 =7+4
x^2 -4x+4 = 11
Factor the left side into (x-b/2)^2
(x-2)^2 =11
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x-2)^2) =±sqrt(11)
x-2 = ±sqrt(11)
Add to to each side
x-2+2 = 2±sqrt(11)
x = 2±sqrt(11)

Answer:
y=-5/8+6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+5y = 20
y = (-8/5)x + 4
slope of the line is -8/5.
slope of any perpendicular to the line is ⅝.
line of slope ⅝ that passes through P(4,5):
y-5 = ⅝(x-4)
y = ⅝x + 2.5
find intersection of lines
⅝x + 2.5 = (-8/5)x + 4
25x + 100 = -64x + 160
89x = 60
x = 60/89, y = 260/89
distance between (60/89, 260/89) and (4,5) = 3.92
Answer:
180 hamburgers
120 hotdogs
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of hamburgers and hotdogs sold by a company given the amount made by them and the total number of these snacks sold
We proceed as follows;
Let the amount of hotdogs sold be x and the amount of hamburgers sold be y.
We have a total of 300 snacks sold, mathematically;
x + y = 300 ..........(I)
Now let’s look at the prices.
x number of hotdogs sold at $2, this give a total of $2x hotdogs
y number of hamburgers sold at $3, this give a total of $3y.
Adding both to give total, we have ;
2x + 3y = 780.......(ii)
This means we have two equations to solve simultaneously. From equation 1, we can say x = 300 -y
Now let’s insert this in the second equation;
2(300-y) + 3y = 780
600-2y + 3y = 780
y = 780-600 = 180
Recall; x + y = 300
x = 300 -y
x = 300-180 = 120
