Answer:

balloons= 9

candles= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of balloons be x

and candles be y

So

15x+8y=192----------1

x+y=17--------------2

from 2, x= 17-y

put x= 17-y in 1

15( 17-y)+8y=192

255-15y+8y=192

solve for y

-7y=192-255

-7y=-63

x=63/7

x=9

put x= 9 in 1

9+y=17

y= 17-9

y=8.

(x=1)^2-4x=(x-1)^2 simplify and answer
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, there's a typing error at (x=1)². I assume it is (x-1)². If my assumption is correct,then:

x²-2x+1-4x=x²-2x+1

x²-6x+1-x²+2x-1=0

-4x=0

x=0

Sam said the square root of a rational number. Jenna disagreed. She said that it is posible that the square root of a rational n
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Jenna is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that is what you meant.

Jenna is correct .

The square root of 4 ( = 2) is rational but,

for example,  2 is a rational number but the square root of 2 is irrational. Try finding the square root of 2 on your calculator. Your answer will be something like 1.414213562 but  that decimal fraction goes on without bounds. No calculator will ever have enough memory to store that number!!
