Answer:
7w
Step-by-step explanation:
2w^2-4w+9
w^2-w+2-4+9
w+7
7w
E=number of eight cent stamps
t=number of ten cent stamps bought
w=number of 2 cent stamps bought
number of eight=number of ten
e=t
as many 2 cent as the other 2 combined
e+t=w or
2e=w=2t
total she bouthgt 4.40
4.40=440 cents
8e+10t+2w=440
solve for t or e, I solve for t
8t+10t+2(2t)=440
18t+4t=440
22t=440
divide 22
t=20
t=e
20=e
w=2e
w=2(20)
w=40
answer is
20 eight cent
20 ten cent
40 two cent
Answer:
x= -2 and (x+3)=0, x= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
"The sum of a number" well we do not know what the number is right, so let's call the number x. So we know we have x and we are adding it to something because it says sum. What are we adding it to? "5 times its reciprocal". A reciprocal of a number is equal to 1/the number. So the reciprocal of x is just 1/x. But we want 5 times this so multiply by 5. So now we have x + 5(1/x). Now we need to set it equal to something to be able to solve it. The problem says the sum of a number and 5 times its reciprocal is -6, so x + 5(1/x) = -6. Now just use order of operations to solve for x. First multiply: x + 5/x =-6. Then the next stperfect is harder because we want to get x by itself but we have x + 5/x. A trick you can do here is multiply the whole equation by x. This cancels out the fraction for us: x(x + 5/x) = -6(x) becomes x^2 +5 = -6x. Now we have a quadratic equation, to solve this you have to Factor or use the quadratic formula. I'll try factoring: first we need all of the terms on one side: x^2 +5x +6 =0. Now we need factors of 6 that add or subtract to 5. There are a couple of options here we could use 6 and -1 or 2 and 3. 6 and -1 would not work because both signs in the equation are plus which means we need our factors to both be positive, also if you tried 6 and -1 and then foiled out the factors to check it, it would not work. So 2 and 3 have to be the factors so the equations equals (x+2)(x+3)=0. Now we set each factor equal to zero and solve for x: (x+2)=0, x= -2 and (x+3)=0, x= -3. Those are the two numbers that would work! Hope this helps!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
that is how you weould set it up.
thats what you'd do if you added or subtracted what was in the perenthesis
rember that you have to put it back into square root
and that would be your final answer!
