Answer:
x = 1, -5.56
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = -7x - 8
shift -7x and -8 to the other side . Remember when u shift minus changes into plus.
x^2 + 7x + 8 = 0
using quadratic equation formula
in quadratic equation one value comes positive and other comes in negative
a = 1 , b = 7 and c = 8
taking positive sign
x = (-b + 
) /2*a
x = (-7 + 
) /2*1
x = (-7 + 
) /2
x = (-7 + 
)/ 2
x = -7 + 9 / 2
x = 2/2
x = 1
taking negative sign
(-b - ) /2*a
x = (-7 - ) /2*1
x = (-7 - 
) /2
x = -7 - 
/ 2
x = -7 - 4.12 / 2
x = -11.12/2
x = -5.56
therefore x = 1 , - 5.56
A is the answer Bc I did this before and my teacher said I did an excellent job!
Answer:
x = 48/7
Step-by-step explanation:
There's two good ways to do this problem.
Option 1:
Translate "x varies directly as y" into the equation y=kx
Then you have to find k. After you "reset" your y=kx equation, fill in k and then solve for x. See image.
Option 2:
Translate "varies directly" into a proportion, which is two fractions equal to each other:
x/y = x/y
Fill in the three numbers given and cross multiply and solve to find the fourth number. See image.
Your answer is 3 raised to 4 that is 3^4.
Hope this helps :)
