This is Adele's solution for the equation x^2 + 8x - 9 = 0 Step 1 x^2 + 8x - 9 = 0 Step 2 x^2 + 8x = 9 Step 3 ( x + 4 )^2 = 25 S

tep 4 x + 4 = 25 or x + 4 = - 25 Step 5 x = 21 or x = - 29. Where did Adele make her mistake. Show all of your work. ​

The mistake was in step one when she added the 9 to both sides

x^2 + 8x - 9 = 0
__ + __ = 8 (b)
__ • __ = -9 (a•c)
blanks = -1 and 9
(x - 1)(x + 9)
Solve for x in each one
x = 1 or -9

x = 1

Answer:

m\angle XVW = 100\degree

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first figure, FP is the bisector of \angle DFE

\therefore m\angle 1 = m\angle 2\\\therefore 44x + 1 = 46x - 1\\\therefore 1 + 1 = 46x - 44x\\\therefore 2 = 2x\\\therefore \frac{2}{2} = x \\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore x = 1}}

In the second figure, VP is the bisector of \angle XVW

\therefore m\angle 1 = m\angle 2\\\therefore 12x + 2 = 11x +6\\\therefore 12x - 11x = 6 - 2\\\therefore x  = 4\\\because m\angle XVW = m\angle1 + m\angle 2\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 12x + 2 + 11x +6\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 23x + 8\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 23\times 4+ 8\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 92+ 8\\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore m\angle XVW = 100\degree}} \\

What are the coordinates of the hole in the graph of the function?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The hole is at (5,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 − 3x − 10

-------------------

x−5

Factor the numerator

(x-5)(x+2)

-------------------

x−5

There is a hole at x=5 since it will cancel in the numerator and the denominator

f(x) = x+2  and letting x = 5

f(5) = 5+2

The hole is at (5,7)

Donte simplified the expression below.
sergij07 [2.7K]
The answer is: [A]: He did not apply the distributive property correctly for                                        4(1 + 3i) .
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________
Note the distributive property of multiplication:
_____________________________
a*(b+c) = ab + ac.
____________________________
As such: 4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + (4*3i) = 4 + 12i ;
_____________________________________
Instead, Donte somehow incorrectly calculated:
_____________________________________
4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + 3i = 4 + 31; (and did the rest of the problem correctly);

Note:  - (8 - 5i) = -8 + 5i (done correctly; 
___________________________________
So if Donte did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4*(1+3i)—and incorrect got 4 + 3i (as mentioned above); but did the rest of the problem correctly, he would have got:
_____________________________
4+ 3i - 8 + 5i = -4 + 8i (the incorrect answer as stated in our original problem.
__________________
This corresponds to: "Answer choice: [A]: <span>He did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i)."
