Answer:

The answer is x=-16 ±2\sqrt{3} in exact form or x=-12.535898, x=-19.464102 in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, start by moving all terms to the left side of the equation and simplify. Simplify the equation by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation and squaring x+16, which will look like x^{2} +32x+256-12=0. Next, simplify the equation again, which will look like x^{2} +32x+244=0.

Then, use the quadratic formula to find the solutions. The quadratic formula looks like\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}.

For this problem, the quadratic variables are as follows:

a=1

b=32

c=244

The next step is to substitute the values a=1, b=32, and c=244 into the quadratic formula and solve. The quadratic formula will look like \frac{-32(+-)\sqrt{32^2-4(1*244)} }{2*1}. To simplify the equation, start by simplifying the numerator, which will look like x=\frac{-32(+-)4\sqrt{3} }{2*1}. Then, multiply 2 by 1 and simplify the equation, which will look like x=-16(+-)2\sqrt{3}. The final answer is x=-16 ±2\sqrt{3} in exact form. In decimal form, the final answer is x=-12.535898, x=-19.464102.

The ratio of Monarch butterflies to Queen butterflies at a butterfly farm was 5:2. If there are no additional butterflies at the
andrew-mc [135]
So we know if there are 5 groups/dozens of Monarch butterflies, there are 2 groups/dozens of Queen butterflies. In other words, there are 5 Monarch butterflies for every 2 Queen butterflies.

Then we can turn that into an equation.

5x = m \\ \\ 2x =q \\ \\ 5x + 2x = m + q
From the last equation we wrote we can see that the total number of butterflies in the farm is 7x.

When we compare the Queen butterflies to total butterflies, we get \frac{q}{m + q} = \frac{2x}{5x + 2x} = \frac{2x}{7x} = \frac{2}{7}

The ratio of Queen butterflies to total butterflies is 2:7.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

so you write the expression 2.75+1.25x= ?

If we subsitute the X for 5(miles) the we'll have the expression 2.75+1.25(5)= ?

and if you simplify that you will get 9.
