Answer:

\boxed {\sf x= {{ - 4\pm \sqrt{22} }}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation is used to find the roots of a quadratic. The formula is:

x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}

when  {ax^2 + bx + c = 0}

We are given the quadratic: x^2+8x-6=0

If we compare the given quadratic to the standard form of a quadratic, then:

a= 1\\b=8 \\c= -6

Substitute the values into the formula.

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {8^2 - 4(1)(-6)} }}{{2(1)}}

Solve inside the radical first.

Solve the exponent.

  • 8²= 8*8= 64

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {64 - 4(1)(-6)} }}{{2(1)}}

Multiply 4, 1, and -6.

  • 4(1)(-6)= 4(-6)= -24

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {64 - -24}}}{{2(1)}}

Add 64 and 24 (2 negative signs become a positive)

  • 64- -24 64+24=88

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {88}}}{{2(1)}}

Solve the denominator.

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {88}}}{{2}}

The radical can be simplified. 88 is divisible by a perfect square: 4

x= \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {4}\sqrt{22} }}{{2}}

Take the square root of 4.

x= \frac{{ - 8\pm 2\sqrt{22} }}{{2}}

Divide by 2.

x= {{ - 4\pm \sqrt{22} }}

The roots are: x=0.690416  and x=−8.69042

Suzy is starting a babysitting buisness. She spent $ 36 to make signs to advertise. She charges and intial fee of $ 6 and then $
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

3h - 30 > 0

h > 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a profit, subtract $36 in cost from the income coming in.

She charges $6 and then $3 per hour or 3h. Her income coming in is 6 + 3h.

Subtract 36 from it to find the profit.

3h + 6 - 36

3h - 30

To make a profit, she needs to make more than $0 or > 0.

3h - 30 > 0

Solve using inverse operations.

3h - 30 > 0

3h > 30

h > 10

Matt and Tikka thought of the same number. Matt added 7 to that number and then doubled the result. He got 26. Tikka did the sam
Reptile [31]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Matt ended up with 26.

We reverse the steps he did to get the original number that both people thought of.

26 / 2 = 13

13 - 7 = 6

6 is the original number.

Tikka did the same operations but in the reverse order so...

6 X 2 = 12

12 + 7 = 19
