To solve using completing square method we proceed as follows:
x^2-10x+8=0
x^2-10x=-8
but
c=(b/2)^2
c=(10/2)^2=25
thus we can add this in our expression to get
x^2-10x+25=8+25
factorizing the LHS we get:
(x-5)(x-5)=33
(x-5)^2=33
getting the square roots of both sides we have:
x-5=+/-√33
x=5+/-√33
Answer:
40 1/2 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Quantity of biscuits the Jones eats daily = 2/3 of a packet
Total packets of biscuits = 27 packets
How long will 27 packets last the family?
= Total packets of biscuits / daily intake of biscuits of the Jones
= 27 ÷ 2/3
= 27 × 3/2
= 81 / 2
= 40 1/2 days
Answer:
x = $20/day, y = $0.35/mile
Step-by-step explanation:
x = $/day, y = $/mile
4x + 160y = 136
1x + 240y = 104
You can solve by elimination or substitution.
Answer:
The total would be 40.53
Or
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
x = 3 − 4
y
