Answer: D. The Number of months of internet service
Answer:
Evaluating Exponents. An exponent is a number that tells how many times the base number is used as a factor. For example, 34 indicates that the base number 3 is used as a factor 4 times. To determine the value of 34, multiply 3*3*3*3 which would give the result 81
Answer:
x = 7, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
solve for y for the first equation
2x + y = 20
-2x -2x , eliminate 2x
y = 20-2x
now that we have found y, substitute the y in for the second equation
-5y = -6x + 12
-5(20-2x) = -6x + 12, we just changed y into 20-2x. remember that we are multiplying all of 20 - 2x by -5
-100+10x = -6x + 12, we multiplied everything from the parathesis by -5
+100 + 100, eliminate -100
10x = -6x + 112
+6x +6x , eliminate 6x
16x = 112 , solve for x
x = 7
then y = 20 - 2x = 20 - 2*7 = 6
check:
2 * 7 + 6 = 20
20 = 20
-5 * 6 = -6 * 7 + 12
-30 = -42 + 12
-30 = -30
In a standard binomial equation: ax² + bx + c = 0
To complete the square; divide the middle coefficient "b" in half and square it to find "c".
(-5/2)² = 25/4
x² - 5x + 25/4 = 25/4
completes the square:
(x - 5/2)² = 25/4
