(x+6)^(1/2)-5=x+1
(x+6)^(1/2)=x+6
((x+6)^(1/2))^2=(x+6)^2
x+6=x^2+12x+36
0=x^2+11x+30
(-11+(11^2-4(1)(30))^(1/2))/2
(-11+((1)^(1/2))/2
(-11+1)/2=-5
(-11-1)/2=-6
((-6)+6)^1/2-5=(-6)+1
(0^(1/2))-5=-5
-6 is non-extraneous
((-5)+6)^1/2-5=(-5)+1
(1^1/2)-5=-4
1-5=-4
-4=-4
-5 is non-extraneous
Answer:
option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
average rate of change in steel production over the eight days=-0.15 tons per day
Step-by-step explanation:
The production rate of a steel factory is declining due to old machinery. Over the last eight days production has dropped by 1.2 tons.
Production is dropped by 1.2 tons, so its negative
Average rate of change = Change in production / number of days
Average rate of change = -1.2/ 8= -0.15
so sorry -0.15
120 barrels x 12 quarts per barrel = 1440 total quarts
1440 quarts / 11 quarts per hour = 130.91 hours to fill all the barrels
1 day = 24 hours
130.91 hours / 24 hours = 5.45 days = 5.5 days
Answer:
8 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Earning for each ticket is $0.25 and for each book is $2
If total earning for 4 tickets and x books is $17, then the equation is:
- 0.25*4 + 2x = 17
- 1 + 2x = 17
- 2x = 16
- x = 16/2
- x = 8
So Molly purchased 8 books
