Solve for completing the square x^2-12x+11=0
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 6 ± 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 12x + 11 =0
x² - 12x = -11 Now add this number to both sides of the equal sign (1/2 of the coefficient of x-term squared)
x² - 12x +36 = -11 + 36 1/2(-12)² = 36
(x - 6)(x - 6) = 25
(x - 6)² = 25
² =
square root of both side of the equation
x - 6 = ± 5 (5)² = 25 and (-5)² = 25
x = 6 ± 5

so.. as you can see, we use the decimal notation for the percentages... 65% is just 65/100 and 50% is just 50/100 and so on
so.. whatever the salted amounts are, we know they'll add up to (x+175)(0.50)
thus (0.30x) + (175)(0.65) = (x+175)(0.50)
solve for "x"
