16 n^2 -10n + 129 = 8n^2 -8
We collect the terms:
8n^2 -10n + 137 = 0
The steps for completing the square:
1) Move the "non X" (or "non N") term to the right:
8n^2 -10n = -137
<span>2)<span> Divide the equation by the coefficient of N² which in this case is 8
n^2 -1.2n = </span></span><span><span>-17.125
</span>
3) Take the coefficient of "N"; divide it by 2; square it; add it to both sides of the equation.
-1.2 / 2 = -.6
-.6^2 = .36
</span>
n^2 -1.2n +.36 = <span>-17.125
+.36
Take the square root of both sides:</span>
(n-.6)*(n-.6) = sq root(

That's about as far as I can go.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of Newspapers be x
Number of newspapers delivered in first hour of his route= 
of x
Total number of newspapers delivered in first hour= x
Number of newspapers left= x-
Number of newspapers left=
Number of newspapers left=
Number of newspapers delivered in second hour=4/5 of
Number of newspapers delivered in second hour=
Fraction of newspapers delivered in second hour is=
Hence, the correct answer is
4(x + 9) + 5x = 9x - 36
=> 4x + 36 + 5x = 9x - 36
=> 9x + 36 = 9x - 36
=> 9x - 9x = -36 - 36
=> 0 = -72
You can see that the equation doesn't hold true.
So there is no solution for this equation.
Answer is C. no real solutions
