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
Answer:
zeros are 4 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 6 =0
x -4 = 0
solve both of these for x
these are your zeros
Answer: 3 chewy fruit worms cost 0.30 dollars. 300 chewy fruit worms cost 30 dollars. you can buy 100 chewy fruit worms for 10 dollars. you can buy 500 chewy fruit worms for 50 dollars. the unit price for a chewy fruit worm is 0.10 dollars. The unit rate is 1:0.10.
Step-by-step explanation:
10x-(3x7-3x2x)+18
10x-(21-3x2x)+18
10x-(21-6x)+18
10x-21+6x+18
16x-21+18
16x-3
P-0.40p = 0.60p
C. Decrease by 40% is the same as multiply by 60%.
Assume that p = 10
10 - 0.40(10) = 0.60(10)
10 - 4 = 6
6 = 6
Based on the above assumption. 40% of 10 is 4 ; and 60% of 10 is 6. So, 10 less 4(40% of 10) is equal to 6 (60% of 10).
Percentage is used because 0.40 and 0.60 will be multiplied with 100% to get the equivalent percentage 0.40 x 100% = 40% ; 0.60 x 100% = 60%
