I'm not completely sure on this but my guess would be 45% probability.
Option A
The solution set of the equation is {-12, -2}
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given equation is:

We have to find the solution set of this equation by completing the square
First, rearrange the equation so that only zero will be on the right side:
----- eqn 1
<em><u>The general form of quadratic equation is:</u></em>
where 
On comparing the given eqn 1 with general quadratic equation, we get
a = 1
b = 14
c = 24
In completing the square, we take half of coefficient of middle term "x" and then square it. Then we add it on both sides of the equation
So to complete the square, add
to both sides of the equation



Take square root on both sides


Now make two equations
x + 7 = + 5 and x + 7 = -5
x = +5 - 7 = -2
x = -2
And,
x + 7 = -5
x = -5 - 7 = -12
x = -12
Therefore, the solution set of the equation is {-12, -2} and option A is correct
Answer:
-0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
√260 and √132
Step-by-step explanation:
use pythagoreans theorem and you can replace a and b or a and c
8^2+14^2=x^2
64+196=x^2
260=x^2
x=√260
8^2+x^2=14^2
64+x^2=196
x^2=132
x=√132
A + b = 147....a = 147 - b
5.85a + 4.40b = 786
5.85(147 - b) + 4.40b = 786
859.95 - 5.85b + 4.40b = 786
-5.85b + 4.40b = 786 - 859.95
- 1.45b = -73.95
b = -73.95 / -1.45
b = 51 <== she used 51 lbs of type B coffee
