Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a quadratic equation by using the completing the square method, the coefficient of the square term i.e x² must be one (1).

Therefore, we would have to first make the coefficient of x² to be equal to 1.

4x² + 24x + 8 = 32

We would simplify the equation;

4x² + 24x = 32 - 8

4x² + 24x = 24

Divide all through by 4;

x² + 8x = 24

The value to be added = (8/2)² = 4² = 16

x² + 8x + 16 = 8 + 16

x² + 4x + 4x + 16 = 24

x(x + 4) + 4(x + 4) = 24

(x + 4)² = 24

Taking the square root of both sides;

x + 4 = ± 4.9

x = -4 ± 4.9

x = -4 + 4.9 = 0.9

or

x = -4 - 4.9 = - 8.9

<em>Therefore, 16 must be added to solve the quadratic equation by completing the square method. </em>

Answer:

9 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

(Found the full problem online)

1 batch : 4 liters of orange juice and 5 liters of soda water

How do we get from 4 and 5 to 36 and 45? For both we multiply by 9.

4 * 9 = 36

5 * 9 = 45

Therefore, they would be able to make 9 batches.

Hope this helps, please mark brainliest if possible :)

Malin and Shawn begin with the same number, t. Malin subtracts 6 from t and then divides the result by 6. Shawn adds 7 to t and
uysha [10]
T

adds 6
t-6

divides by 6
(t-6)/6



shawn
7+t

divide by 7
(7+t)/7


theyare equal


(t-6)/6=(7+t)/7
times 42 both sides
7(t-6)=6(t+7)
distribute
7t-42=6t+42
minus 6t both sides
t-42=42
add 42 both sides
t=84
