Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
x² - 2x - 1 = 0
Solve by completing the square method;
⇒ take the constant to the right hand side of the equation.
x² - 2x = 1
⇒ take half of coefficient of x = ¹/₂ x -2 = -1
⇒ square half of coefficient of x and add it to the both sides of the equation


⇒ take the square root of both sides;

Therefore, option B is the right solution.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first choice ( -12, 20)
Discussion:
Using matrix multiplication we find the equations:
1x + 1y = 8 (A)
2x + 3y = 36 (B)
Next, compute
2(A) - B =>
(2x + 2y) - (2x + 3y) = 2*8 - 36 =>
(2x - 2x) + ( 2y-3y) = 16 - 36 =>
-y = -20 =>
y = 20
Substituting this y value in (A) gives
x + 20 = 8 =>
x = 8 - 20 =>
x = -12
The answer is the first choice ( -12, 20)
Thank you,
MrB
It is the graph where the two lines intersect, when they intersect there is a point where they connect, and that is your answer
I believe the answer is B because you multiply 18 and 40 then subtract 320 from that and you will 400.
Answer:
The friends live 285 miles apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let total distance in miles Sean needs to cover to visit his friend be = 
On first hour distance traveled in miles is = 
Distance left to cover after first hour = 
On second hour distance traveled = 34 miles
Distance to still left to be covered = 194 miles
Total distance to be covered after first hour will be =
= 228 miles
Thus, the equation can be given as:
⇒ 
Multiplying each term with 5 to remove fractions.
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Dividing both sides by 4.
⇒ 
∴ 
Thus, the friends live 285 miles apart.
