X= -8 that uis your answer for that question :)
You could multiply 19.45 by 0.2 to solve for it, but if you're not using a calculator, then 19.45/5 would be much more convenient and easier.
0.2 is 1/5 in fraction form, which is why we can do that.
19.45/5 = 3.89
Dino should leave $3.89 as a tip.
Answer:
x = 2 ±i
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 4x-5
Subtract 4x from each side
x^2 - 4x = 4x-5 -4x
x^2 - 4x= -5
Complete the square
Take the coefficient of the x term, divide by 2 and square it
-4/2 =2 2^2 =4
Add 4 to each side
x^2 -4x+4 = -5 +4
The left side is (x-coefficient of the x term/2)^2
(x-2)^2 = -1
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x-2)^2) = sqrt(-1)
x-2 = ±i
Add 2 to each side
x-2+2 = 2 ±i
x = 2 ±i
