In can be less mental effort if the equation is multiplied by -1 first.
.. x^2 -10x +8 = 0
.. x^2 -10x +25 +8 -25 = 0
.. (x -5)^2 = 17
.. x -5 = ±√17
.. x = 5 ±√17
The values of x that satisfy the given equation are
.. x = 5 -√17 ≈ 0.877
.. x = 5 +√17 ≈ 9.123
Answer:
JK=7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the line segment, since J is on it ,it means the line segment is
represented as I J K
from this illustration, we can say that the longest part of the line segment is from I to K
this means that, IJ +JK =IK
making JK the subject,
JK= IK - IJ
but from the question, JK=2x-1 , IK=3x+2 and IJ=3x-5
substituting them in the expression,
2x-1 =3x+2 -(3x-5)
solving for x
2x-1 =3x+2-3x+5
2x-1 =0+7
2x-1 =7
2x=1+7
2x=8
dividing through by 2
2x/2 =8/2
x=4
but the question says we should find the numerical value for JK
but from the line segment,
JK=2x-1
but now we know the value of x to be 2
so substituting it in the formula
JK= 2(4)-1
JK=8-1
JK=7
therefore, the numerical value for JK is 7
Answer:
9m^2+17m-9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2 1/4 or 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
to start we can make an equation
9lbs = 4x
divide by 4
9/4 = x
x = 2.25 or 2 1/4
Answer would be 3/5 (filler)
