x2=36

We move all terms to the left:

x2-(36)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-36=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -36;

Δ = b2-4ac

Δ = 02-4·1·(-36)

Δ = 144

The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions

We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:

x1=−b−Δ√2ax2=−b+Δ√2a

Δ‾‾√=144‾‾‾‾√=12

x1=−b−Δ√2a=−(0)−122∗1=−122=−6

x2=−b+Δ√2a=−(0)+122∗1=122=6

Answer:

  x = -6 or +6

Step-by-step explanation:

You know from your multiplication tables that 6×6 = 36, so one answer is ...

  x = 6

You also know that the product of two negative numbers is positive, so another answer is ...

  x = -6

__

<em>Check</em>

  x² = 6² = 6×6 = 36

  x² = (-6)² = (-6)×(-6) = 36

_____

<em>Alternate approach</em>

If you like, you can rewrite the equation as ...

  x² -36 = 0

This can be factored to ...

  (x -6)(x +6) = 0

The zero product rule tells you this product will only be zero if one or the other factors is zero.

  x -6 = 0   ⇒   x = 6

  x +6 = 0   ⇒   x = -6

The two solutions are x = ±6.

Eight more than the quotient of a number and 4 equals 5
Lady bird [3.3K]
Well we can put that word problem into a equation so, 8+x/4=5. Now what I would do is move the 8 to the other side, and since it moved to the other side it becomes a -8 so now we have x/4 = -3. Now I would multiply both side by 4 to get x = -12

Answer= X = -12

Andrews [41]
Hey there,
$75 is above $50
Final Bill = $75 - (20% x $75)
              = $75 - $15
              = $ 60

Hope this helps :))
