x = -6.2749172 ≈-6.3
x = 1.27491722 ≈ 1.3
Step-by-step explanation:
For quadratic equations, you can use the quadratic formula. Rearrange the equation to standard from, which is ax² + bx + c = 0.
x² = –5x + 8
x² + 5x - 8 = 0
State the values for "a", "b" and "c",
a = 1; b = 5; c = -8
(Ignore the Â, it's a formatting error)
Simplify
Two negatives make a positive
Split the equation at the ± for plus and minus:
= 1.27491722 ≈ 1.3
= -6.2749172 ≈ -6.3
Therefore the solutions are 1.3 and -6.3.
Answer: 101 Degrees for angle BCD
Step-by-step explanation: All 3 angles in any triangle add up to 180, in the first triangle (one on the left), you have 58 and 78 degrees, add them both and subtract from 180, you get 44 degrees for angle C on the left. Do the same on the right side of the triangle, you should get 35 degrees for angle C on the right. Add them both up, (35+44) then subtract from 180 degrees to find the measure of angle BCD.
Answer:
65
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of liters of 50% acid Theresa puts into the mix. The the number of liters of 30% acid will be (420-x). The total amount of acid in the final solution will be ...
0.50x + 0.30(420-x) = 0.45(420)
0.20x + 126 = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0.20x = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
x = 63/0.20 = 315 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . liters of 50% solution
(420-x) = 420-315 = 105 . . . . . . . . . liters of 30% solution
Theresa should mix ...
105 liters of 30% solution
315 liters of 50% solution
