16 n^2 -10n + 129 = 8n^2 -8
We collect the terms:
8n^2 -10n + 137 = 0
The steps for completing the square:
1) Move the "non X" (or "non N") term to the right:
8n^2 -10n = -137
<span>2)<span> Divide the equation by the coefficient of N² which in this case is 8
n^2 -1.2n = </span></span><span><span>-17.125
</span>
3) Take the coefficient of "N"; divide it by 2; square it; add it to both sides of the equation.
-1.2 / 2 = -.6
-.6^2 = .36
</span>
n^2 -1.2n +.36 = <span>-17.125
+.36
Take the square root of both sides:</span>
(n-.6)*(n-.6) = sq root(

-16.765

That's about as far as I can go.
Answer:
19/72
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the probability that a randomly-chosen child from this group likes either Chess or Swimming but not Football?
We already know the number that liked chess only which is 10, we have to solve for those that liked swimming only which is
8+7+16+x = 40
x which represent swimming only is
40-31 = 9
Thus probability = 10/72 + 9/72 = 19/72
Since the angles add to 180°, angle F is 72°.
Using the law of sines,
DF/sin72° = 24/sin45°
x = 32.28
So, did you just guess at A?
This is just an answer from another website, but it should still work.
Answer:
multiple choice is worth 2
short response is worth 4
Step-by-step explanation:
23x + 10y = 86
28x + 5y = 76
solve by elimination
multiply the top by -1 and the bottom by 2
-23x + -10y = -86
56x + 10y = 152
add them
33x = 66
x = 2
with x = 2 plug x into one of the equations
23x + 10y = 86
23(2) + 10y = 86
46 + 10y = 86
10y = 40
y = 4
x = 2 and y = 4 so
multiple choice is worth 2
short response is worth 4
