Simplifying
b2 + -4b + -14 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0

Solving
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0

Solving for variable 'b'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + -4b + 14 + b2 = 0 + 14

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14
-4b + b2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
-4b + b2 = 14

The b term is -4b. Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4b + 4 + b2 = 14 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4b + b2 = 14 + 4

Combine like terms: 14 + 4 = 18
4 + -4b + b2 = 18

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + -2)(b + -2) = 18

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.242640687

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(b + -2) equal to 4.242640687 and -4.242640687. b + -2 = 4.242640687

Simplifying
b + -2 = 4.242640687

Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = 4.242640687

Solving
-2 + b = 4.242640687

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = 4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = 4.242640687 + 2
b = 4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: 4.242640687 + 2 = 6.242640687
b = 6.242640687
Simplifying
B = 6.242640687

Subproblem 2
b + -2 = -4.242640687

Simplifying
b + -2 = -4.242640687

Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = -4.242640687

Solving
-2 + b = -4.242640687

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = -4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = -4.242640687 + 2
b = -4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: -4.242640687 + 2 = -2.242640687
b = -2.242640687

Simplifying
b = -2.242640687

A triangle has sides of 18cm and 32cm. The measurement of the longest side is missing. Ted says that one possibility for the unk
gulaghasi [49]
Since the measurement of the longest side is missing we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse or longest side.

18^2 + 32^2 = c (hypotenuse) ^2
324 + 1,024 = c^2
1,348 = c^2
sqrt 1,348 = c
36.72 = c
i do not agree with ted because when you use the pythagorean theorem you do not get 47cm

this can be proved by
18^2 + 32 ^2 = 47^2
we already know the left side is 1,348
1,348 = 47^2
1,348 does not equal 2,209 which is 47 squared

4 to the 8th power divided by 4 to the 5th power
Natasha2012 [34]

Alright, 4 to the 8th power is 4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4 which ends up as 65,536.

4 to the 5th power is the same thing but with 5 4's and that is 1,024.

All you need to do now is 65,536/1,024 = 64.

Solved!  :D

20 points picture problem​
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

48/30   3/18   40/16   6/9   21/49   20/15   18/24   30/25  8/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the common denominator, then whatever it is, multiply the top to match it. For examples you start with 7/5 and you are trying to get the denominator to 25, you would multiply 7x5 which equals 35/25. Hope this helps.
