Answer:

x = 1

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x2 +  16x) -  18  = 0

2x2 + 16x - 18  =   2 • (x2 + 8x - 9)

x2 + 8x - 9

 -9    +    1    =    -8

     -3    +    3    =    0

     -1    +    9    =    8

 2 • (x + 9) • (x - 1)  = 0

2   =  0

x+9 = 0  

x = -9

x-1 = 0

x = 1

x2 + 8x - 9  = 0

  x2+8x = 9

(x+4) • (x+4)  =

 (x+4)2

x2+8x+16 = 25 and

  x2+8x+16 = (x+4)2

(x+4)2 = 25

x = -4 + √ 25

 x2 + 8x - 9 = 0

has two solutions:

 x = -4 + √ 25

  or

 x = -4 - √ 25

           

           - B  ±  √ B2-4AC

 x =   ————————

                     2A

A   =     1

                     B   =    8

                     C   =   -9

B2  -  4AC   =

                    64 - (-36) =

                    100

 -8 ± √ 100

  x  =    —————

                   2

  x  =  ( -8 ± 10) / 2

x =(-8+√100)/2=-4+5= 1.000

or:

x =(-8-√100)/2=-4-5= -9.000

Answer:  x = 1

x = -9

Find the sum of QR<br> 4x+33
12345 [234]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4x + 5 = 33

Reorder the terms:

5 + 4x = 33

Solving

5 + 4x = 33

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + 4x = 33 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + 4x = 33 + -5

4x = 33 + -5

Combine like terms: 33 + -5 = 28

4x = 28

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 7

Simplifying

x = 7

NEED HELP WITH 13 a-b!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

a - 6%

b - $7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer for a

the only items that had sales tax were $3.00 and $0.50. The total tax for the both was $0.21 so you can find what percent 0.21 is of 3.00 + 0.50 o 3.50. Do this by dividing the percent you are looking for, 0.21, by what it is the percent of 3.50. 0.21 / 3.50 = 0.06. then you multiply the number you got, in this case 0.06 by 100 to find the percentage so it is 6%

The answer for b

Here you can just take the subtotal, $13.00, and subtract all the other prices and you will be left with the price of the top. 13.00 - 3.00 - 2.00 - 0.50 = 7.50. So the answer is $7.50

Suppose you buy a $50 coffee maker in an area where the sales tax is 8%. When you check out, 8% of $50 would be added to your to
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is also 8/100. This would be true for all percents 0 to 100%. If it were 42% it can be written as 42/100.

So, 8% is 8/100. If you want to find 8/100 of 50 multiply them.

8/100 * 50/1 = (8*50) /100

400/100 = 4

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question

We can determine the correct graph by finding its roots

x² - 4x - 12 = 0

x² - 6x + 2x - 12 = 0

x(x-6) +2(x-6) = 0

(x+2)(x-6) = 0

This means the roots of the function are x=-2, and x=6 and the graph will cross x axis at these two points. From the given graphs, the graph B seems to cross these points.

So the answer to this question is option B
