Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Brain correctly use a method of completing the square to solve the equation:
His First Step is to: Take the Constant Term to the Right Hand Side
The Next Step Would be to:
- Divide the Coefficient of x by 2
- Square It
- Add it to both Sides
In this case, the Coefficient of x = 7
- Divided by 2 =
- Squaring It, we have:
It is this number that is added to both sides in the manner below:
Answer:
$18.375 or rounded = $18.38 (brainliest if correct)
Step-by-step explanation:
25.00- 7.5 = $17.5
5% of 17.5 = 0.875
17.5 +0.875 = 18.375
In the step after -6x+10=4x+20, he moved the terms incorrectly. you have to add 6x to both sides so it would be 10=4x+6x+20 which simplifies to 10=10x+20. subtract 20 from both sides to get -10=10x. divide both sides by 10. the answer is x=-1
<span> Let x be the smaller number.
Then 3x is the larger number.
We also know that the smaller added to the larger is 52, or:
x + 3x = 52
4x =52
x = 13
Therefore the smaller is 13, the larger is 3(13)=39. </span>
