Answer:
x = ± 10
Step-by-step explanation:
- 5x² = - 500 ( divide both sides by - 5 )
x² = 100 ( take square root of both sides )
x = ± 
= ± 10
That is x = - 10 or x = 10
Answer:
$14.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Ria earns 1.2 times more than Peter does
Peter earns $12.40
To solve, you have to multiply the amount peter has by 1.2

Answer: the length and width are
(x + 8) and (x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The rug has an area represented by the expression
Area = 4x² + 64x + 256.
The factors in the factored expressions represent the length and width of the rug.
Dividing the the equation by 4, it becomes
x² + 16x + 64 = 0
We would find two numbers such that their sum or difference is 16x and their product is 64x^2.
The two numbers are 8x and 8x. Therefore,
x² + 8x + 8x + 64 = 0
x(x + 8) + 8(x + 8) = 0
The factors are
(x + 8)(x + 8)
