Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain vertex form from the given equation use the method of completing the square
given 8y + x² = - y² - 181 + 26x
rearrange having the x terms and y terms together
add y² to both sides
8y + x² + y² = - 181 + 26x ( subtract 26x from both sides )
x² - 26x + y² + 8y = - 181
add (half the coefficient of the x/y terms )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 13)x + 169 +y² + 2(4)y + 16 = - 181 + 169 + 16
completing the square on both the x and y terms
(x - 13)² + (y + 4)² = 4 → D
I think Larry is 1/10 closer to Brianna's than Katie.
Simplify both sides of the equation
(20)(4)= 4(5x+1)
Simplify
80 = 20x+4
Flip the equation
20x+4 = 80
Subtract 4 from both sides
20x+4-4 = 80-4
20x = 76
Divide both sides by 20
20x/20 = 76/20
x= 3.8
There is one solution in this equation
When an equation is in standard form, x isn't negative so she should divide everything by a negative 1 to change it into a positive equation.
Call T the price of the T-shirts and P de price of the jeans
Initially (without discount)
2T + P = 40
One month later (half prices)
2 (T/2) + 5(P/2) = 60
T +5P/2 = 60
To solve the system of equations multiply the second equation by 2 and substract it from the first equation
2 T + 5P = 120
- (2 T + P = 40 )
________________
4P = 80
P = 80/4
P = 20
From 2T + P = 40
T = (40 - P) / 2 = (40 -20) / 2 = 20/2 = 10.
The price of a T-shirt is $10 and the price of a pair of jeans is $20.
