Answer:
$16
Step-by-step explanation:
This method is probbaly working backwards. I'm not sure.
12 - 4 = 8 (How much she was left with if she didn't wash the car for 4 dollars)
8 x 2 = 16 (They mentioned she spent half of her weekly allowance)
This pattern of question is always coming up. Since we can't easily guess, then let us set up simultaneous equation for the statements.
let the two numbers be x and y.
Multiply to 44. x*y = 44 ..........(a)
Add up to 12. x + y = 12 .........(b)
From (b)
y = 12 - x .......(c)
Substitute (c) into (a)
x*y = 44
x*(12 - x) = 44
12x - x² = 44
-x² + 12x = 44
-x² + 12x - 44 = 0.
Multiply both sides by -1
-1(-x² + 12x - 44) = -1*0
x² - 12x + 44 = 0.
This does not look factorizable, so let us just use quadratic formula
comparing to ax² + bx + c = 0, x² - 12x + 44 = 0, a = 1, b = -12, c = 44
x = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) /2a or (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) /2a
x = (-(-12) + √((-12)² - 4*1*44) )/ (2*1)
x = (12 + √(144 - 176) )/ 2
x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2
√-32 = √(-1 *32) = √-1 * √32 = i * √(16 *2) = i*√16 *√2 = i*4*√2 = 4i√2
Where i is a complex number. Note the equation has two values. We shall include the second, that has negative sign before the square root.
x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2 or (12 - √-32 )/ 2
x = (12 + 4i√2 )/ 2 (12 - 4i√2 )/ 2
x = 12/2 + (4i√2)/2 12/2 - (4i√2)/2
x = 6 + 2i√2 or 6 - 2i√2
Recall equation (c):
y = 12 - x, When x = 6 + 2i√2, y = 12 - (6 + 2i√2) = 12 - 6 - 2i√2 = 6 - 2i√2
When x = 6 - 2i√2, y = 12 - (6 - 2i√2) = 12 - 6 + 2i√2 = 6 + 2i√2
x = 6 + 2i√2, y = 6 - 2i√2
x = 6 - 2i√2, y = 6 + 2i√2
Therefore the two numbers that multiply to 44 and add up to 12 are:
6 + 2i√2 and 6 - 2i√2
Answer:
(x+12)^2=84
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+24x+60=0
x^2+24x=-60
x^2+24x+(24/2)^2=-60+(24/2)^2
(x+24/2)^2=84
(x+12)^2=84 (ans)
The amount of carrots they each ate are the same because 12 is a multiple of 4. There are 3 4’s in one 12. If you multiply 1/4 times 3 you will get 3/12 because 1 x 3 = 3. And 4 x 3 = 12
