Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
m = j^2 -7p
18 = j^2 -7(9)
18 = j^2 - 63
81 = j^2
√81 = √j^2
9 = j
Answer:
(-4,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x-10y=-20
10x+10y=0
divide both sides by 2
-5x-10y=-20
5x+5y=0
that makes
-5y=-20
divide both sides by -5
y=4
now substitute 4 for y
10x+10 x 4=0
multiply
10x+40=0
subtract
10x=-40
divide
x=-4
I will get you started.
x^2+4x-4 = 8
x^2 + 4x - 4 - 8 = 0
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0
You must now use the quadratic formula.
In the formula, a = 1, b = 4, and c = -12.
Take it from here.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4
f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4 Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.
f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4
We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9
So that means that
2a + 4 = - 6 Subtract 4 from both sides.
2a = - 6 - 4
2a = - 10 Divide by 2
a = - 10/2
a = - 5.
But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.
a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9
(a + 2)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3
a+2 = 3
a = 1.
Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for 2(a) + 4 = - 6
You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.
a + 2 = - 3
a = - 3 - 2
a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.
===========
This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.
I’m pretty sure that the correct equation, and the value of x is
Is 7/8= x/224; x = 196 pounds
