First we need to factor the left side. Since it is a perfect square (as is the process with completing the square, we know we can take half of the middle number along with x to be in the two parenthesis.
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 25
Now we simplify to show it as a square.
(x - 4)^2 = 25
Next we take the square root of both sides
x - 4 = +/- 5
Note that we have plus or minus 5. This is because either square would give us positive 25. Now we add 4 to both sides
x = 4 +/- 5
4 + 5 = 9
4 - 5 = -1
She could put 6 stamps on 4 pages, and 9 stamps on the other pages
6 * 4 = 24
78 - 24 = 54
54/9= 6
Answer:
C and D are the same answers but one of those.
Step-by-step explanation:
Um, I got what Robert got, so by process of elimination, it must be C or D. I used multiplication, so it wasn't subtraction or addition. Meaning whatever a reciprocal is, I didn't do that.
