Answer: x= 2(2+sqrt(10)) , x=2(2-sqrt(10)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-8x=24 <- subtract 24 from both sides

x^2-8x-24 <- take quadratic formulat (-2+/- Sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)/2a

-(-8) +/- sqrt((-8)^2 - 4(1*-24) all over (2*1) <- simplify

(-(-8) +/- 4sqrt(10) )/2 <- sepereate

(-(-8) +/4sqrt(10) )/2 , (-(-8) - 4sqrt(10) )/2 <- simplify

2(2+sqrt(10)) , 2(2-sqrt(10) =x

Daniel has 1 blue pencil and 5 yellow pencils in his backpack. He also has 2 pink erasers, 4 tan erasers, and 3 gray erasers in

Kamila [148]

First, you add up all the pencil together so there is 6 pencil then add the eraser so there 9 erasers so the answer is

pencil: 5/6 to get a yellow pencil
erasers:2/9 to get a pink eraser

Help Please.. 1 /2x + y = 4 What is the x-intercept? What is the y-intercept?

IgorC [24]

Answer:

x - intercept = 8

y - intercept = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to to find x- intercept, plug y = 0, in the given equation of line.

$\frac{1} {2} x+y = 4\\\\\frac{1} {2} x+0 = 4..(plug \: y = 0)\\\frac{1} {2} x = 4\\x = 2\times 4\\x = 8\\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore x-intercept = 8}}$
