Rewrite s = 4 + sqrt(s+2) as s-4 = sqrt(s+2)
Square both sides: s^2 - 8s + 16 = s + 2
combine like terms: s^2 - 9s + 14 = 0
Factor this: (s-7)(s-2)=0
Solve for s: s={7, 2}
Answer
93 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
Week one= 3 boxes
Week two= 2×3=6 boxes
Week three= 2×6=12 boxes
Week four= 2×12=24 boxes
Week five= 2×24=48 boxes
Total number of boxes sold is the sum for boxes sold in week 1,2,3,4 and 5
Hi Kristian
a - 3b = 22
a = b - 2
We need to solve a = b -2 for a
First, we need to substitute b - 2 for a in a - 3b = 22
a - 3b = 22
b - 2 - 3b = 22
-2b - 2 = 22
-2b = 22 + 2
-2b = 24
b = 24/-2
b = -12
Now substitute -12 for b in a = b - 2
a = b -2
a= -12 - 2
a= -14
Thus, the solution is a = -14 and b = -12
The correct option is the last one (-14,-12)
If you have questions about my answer, please let me know.
Good luck!
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 57
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 57
x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 57
3x + 3 = 57
3x = 57 - 3
3x = 54
x = 54/3
x = 18
