Step-by-step explanation:
First write out the equation
x² - x - 20
Now we now write the equation by equating to 0
x² - x - 20 = 0
We now move 20 to the other side of the equation. So
x² - x = 20,
We now add to both side of the equation square of the half the coefficient of the (x) and not (x²) which is (1) . So, the equation now becomes
x² - x + ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ( ¹/₂ )²
x² - ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ¹/₄
( x - ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ¹/₄, we now resolve the right hand side expression into fraction
( x - ¹/₂ )² = ⁸¹/₄ when the LCM is made 4
Taking the square root of both side to remove the square,we now have
x - ¹/₂ = √⁸¹/₄
x - ¹/₂ = √⁸¹/₂
Therefore,
x = ¹/₂ ± √⁸¹

Answer:
432 people on Friday and 658 on Saturday
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets use variables for each day
x=Friday and y=Saturday
now write two equations since you were given two different information (money and people)
$6 on Friday and $8 on Saturday with a total amount of $7856
the equation will be 6x+8y=7856
now the second equation will be for people
x amount of people on Friday and y amount of people on saturday for a total of 1090; the equation will be
x+y=1090
put them together
6x+8y=7856
x+y=1090
now you can cancel a variable but manipulating one of the equations. We'll use x, to cancel x you need make it zero so multiply the bottom by -6
6x+8y=7856
-6(x+y=1090)
6x+8y=7856 now subtract downwards, with the x cancelling
-6x-6y=-6540
2y=1316 simplify
(2y/2)=(1316/2)
y=658
insert y into x+y=1090
x+(658)=1090
-658 -658
x=432
Combine like terms: Then solve
(-5a3 + 6a3) + (-2a2 +9a2) + 8a =
