First we need to factor the left side. Since it is a perfect square (as is the process with completing the square, we know we can take half of the middle number along with x to be in the two parenthesis.
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 25
Now we simplify to show it as a square.
(x - 4)^2 = 25
Next we take the square root of both sides
x - 4 = +/- 5
Note that we have plus or minus 5. This is because either square would give us positive 25. Now we add 4 to both sides
x = 4 +/- 5
4 + 5 = 9
4 - 5 = -1
12 is B. You because the graphs slope is 1. 13 is A 7 I think.
Answer: x = a*y + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To make x the subject of the equation, first, we open the bracket
4x - 12/a = y
Then cross multiply:
4x - 12 = a * y ( a*y means the product of the two variables)
Add 12 to both sides of the equation
4x = a*y + 12
Divide both sides by 4 to get the value of x
x = a * y + 12/4
x = a*y + 3
I hope this helps.
Let the weight of the first truck be represented by w.
total weight = w + (2 + w) + (2 + 2 + w) + (2 + 2 + 2 + w)
32 = 4w + 12
20 = 4w
w = 5
Therefore, the first truck weighs 5 tons, the second weighs 7 tons, the third weighs 9 tons and the fourth weighs 11 tons.
