The answer I think would be y = 5 let me know if I'm wrong
Answer:
add 1/4 to each side
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+x=11
We take the coefficient of the x term
1
Then divide it by 2
1/2
Then square it
(1/2) ^2 = 1/4
Add this to both sides of the equation
x^2 + x + 1/4 = 11+1/4
(x+1/2)^2 = 11 1/4
The solution is -5/4= -1 1/4
3a + 6b = 45
2a - 2b = -12....multiply by 3
----------------
3a + 6b = 45
6a - 6b = - 36 ...(result of multiplying by 3)
---------------add
9a = 9
a = 1
3a + 6b = 45
3(1) + 6b = 45
3 + 6b = 45
6b = 45 - 3
6b = 42
b = 7
solution is : (1,7)
Answer:
The first amount is larger by 25% or .25a
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets increase a by 50%
The increase is .5a
So the new value is a + .5a = 1.5a
Now we will decrease the new value by 50%
decrease = .5 (1.5a) = .75a
The new value of a is 1.5a - .75a = .75a
a > .75a
a - .75a = .25a
a is bigger than .75a by .25a
