16 n^2 -10n + 129 = 8n^2 -8
We collect the terms:
8n^2 -10n + 137 = 0
The steps for completing the square:
1) Move the "non X" (or "non N") term to the right:
8n^2 -10n = -137
<span>2)<span> Divide the equation by the coefficient of N² which in this case is 8
n^2 -1.2n = </span></span><span><span>-17.125
</span>
3) Take the coefficient of "N"; divide it by 2; square it; add it to both sides of the equation.
-1.2 / 2 = -.6
-.6^2 = .36
</span>
n^2 -1.2n +.36 = <span>-17.125
+.36
Take the square root of both sides:</span>
(n-.6)*(n-.6) = sq root(

-16.765

That's about as far as I can go.
Answer:
a and b.
Step-by-step explanation:
I’ll explain by giving an example.
Let’s say that: a=3;b=4;c=5; => they all are consecutive -> their sum is 12.
=> if we use a) n=3 => 3*n+3=3*3+3=12 => correct.
b) n+(n+1)+(n+2)= 3+4+5=12=> correct.
c)n+2n+3n=3+6+9=18=>incorrect.
d)3n=3*3=9=>incorrect.
Answer:
The actual length of the lap = 250 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The scale factor of the map is 1:1000
∵ The length of the lap on the map is 25 cm
∴ 
Where x is the actual length of a lap
∴ x = (25 × 1000) ÷ 1 = 25000 cm
∵ 1 meter = 100 centimeter
∴ The actual length of the lap = 25000 ÷ 100 = 250 meters
