Get the x terms by themselves on one side and a constant on the other side of the equal sign...
4x^2-8x=1 make the leading coefficient equal to one...
x^2-2x=1/4 now halve the linear coefficient, -2 in this case, square it, and add that value to both sides of the equation...-2/2=-1, -1^2=1 so
x^2-2x+1=1+1/4
x^2-2x+1=5/4 now the left side is a perfect square...
(x-1)^2=5/4 take the square root of both sides...
x-1=±√(5/4) add 1 to both sides
x=1±√(5/4)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given functions are:

We have to find:
(s.t)(x) => this means we have to multiply the two functions to get the result.
So,

Also we have to find
(s-t)(x) => we have to subtract function t from function s

Also we have to find,
(s+t)(-3) => first we have to find sum of both functions and then put -3 in place of x

Putting x = -3

Hence,

How much turkey is in the pie?
The mass of the turkey in the pie is 1/4 of the weight of the chicken
200/4 = 50 grams
write out the equation:
8y=3+7y (I'm assuming y is the amount of comic books)
8=3+7
8=10
Obviously the equation isn't equal. The nonfiction is greater. By the way, I took out the y because I assumed that y was the amount of books and there was no need to write out 8 times one. On a test, make sure you specify this of the teacher may take off points, if she is using Common Core.
54 divided by four is 13.5 or 27/2
