- The value <u> 18 </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u> 17 </u> goes in the second blank.
========================================================
Explanations:
- Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
- There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
- The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
- We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
- Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.

Let's call the 13¢ stamps a and the 18¢ stamps b:
a+b = 42 and therefore a= 42-b (formula 1)
0.13a+0.18b= 6.66 In this formula, substitute the value of a according to formula 1:
0.13(42-b)+0.18b= 6.66 Multiply on the left to get rid of the parenthesis:
5.46-0.13b+0.18b= 6.66 Subtract 5.46 from both sides:
-0.13b+0.18b= 1.20 Add on the left:
0.05b= 1.20 Divide both sides by 0.05
b= 24 You have 24 18¢ stamps and:
42-24= 18 13¢ stamps
Check: (24 x 0.18) + (18 x 0.13)= 6.66 Correct.
