First you take the original set and subtract it by the sale set. After that you take you new answer and divide it by the original and you will get a percent that you can round too
Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.
"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."
means: x+y=28
"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"
means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)
thus, we have the system of equations:
1) x+y= 28
2) x-y=4
adding the 2 equations, we have:
(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4
2x=32
x=32/2=16
x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12
Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12
X=3 y=-2
4x - 6y
4(3) - 6(-2)
12 - (-12) (two negatives cancel out)
12 + 12 = 24
answer: 24
Step-by-step explanation:
When you complete the square, you change the equation so that the left side of the equation is a perfect square trinomial. But mainly completing the square is a technique that transforms your quadratic equation from an equation that can't be factored into one that can.
