Answer: There are 990 croissants

Step-by-step explanation:

If 45% of them are pretzels then 55% of the pastries hs to be croissants.

Multiply 55% by the total number of pastries to find the number of croissants.

55% * 1,800 = 990

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2.\\(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\x^2-16x=-8\\\\x^2-2(x)(8)=-8\\\\\text{We have}\ 2ab=2(x)(8).\ \text{Therefore}\ b=8.\\\\x^2-2(x)(8)=-8\qquad\text{add}\ 8^2=64\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(8)+8^2=-8+64\\\\(x-8)^2=56$

$5.\\2x^2+x-1=2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\2x^2+x-3=0\\\\2x^2+3x-2x-3=0\\\\x(2x+3)-1(2x+3)=0\\\\(2x+3)(x-1)=0\iff 2x+3=0\ \vee\ x-1=0\\\\2x+3=0\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\2x=-3\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{3}{2}}\\\\x-1=0\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\boxed{x=1}$

$6.\\2x^2-4x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x^2-2x=0\\\\x(x-2)=0\iff x=0\ \vee\ x-2=0\\\\\boxed{x=0}\\\\x-2=0\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\boxed{x=2}$

Simplify 4/(√5+ √2) - 3/(√5- √2)

MakcuM [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{ \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2}} - \frac{3}{ \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{2} } = \\ = \frac{4( \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{2} ) - 3( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2} ) }{( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2} )\times ( \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{2} )} = \\ = \frac{4 \sqrt{5} - 4 \sqrt{2} - 3 \sqrt{5} - 3 \sqrt{2} }{5 - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{10} - 2 } = \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{5} - 7 \sqrt{2} }{3}$
