DerKrebs [107]3 years ago

(x - 4)(x - 4)=0. Then, (x - 4)=0 and (x - 4) =0.

In both cases, x is 4. Thus, you have a double real root: {4, 4}.

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4 =  

16 - x

(x - 4)2 = 16 - x

x2 - 8x + 16 = 16 - x

-x2 + 7x = 0

-(x(x - 7)) = 0

multiple both sides by -1:

x(x - 7) = 0

x = 0 or x = 7

Check solutions:

x = 7 ⇒

7 - 4 =  

16 - 7

3 =  

9

3 = 3

x = 7 is a solution

x = 0 ⇒

0 - 4 =  

16 - 0

-4 =  

16

-4 ≠ 4

x = 0 is not a solution (extraneous root)

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (-2, -13) is y = 5x - 3. What is the point slope fo
Alona [7]

Answer:

B. y+13=5(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

I personally do y=_+_(x-_) when solving these equations

Plug in -2 the x coordinate for (x- (-2) to be (x+3)

Plug in -13 for the y intercept.

5 from 5x is the slope.

Thus y=-13+5(x+3)

Then just move 13 to the other side

Armando read 20 pages of his 200-page book in 4 hours. At this rate, how long will it take him to read the entire book?
Jet001 [13]
What you would need to do is find out how many pages can he read in 1 hour. If he can read 20 pages in 4 hours, then that means he can read 5 pages in 1 hour. So, what you need to do is divide 5 by 200, and you'll get 40. Armando will finish the whole book in 40 hours.

Write and solve an equation to find your final score. Use x to represent your final score.
attashe74 [19]
Let your final bowling score be x. It is 14 pins less than your friends final score. Your friends final bowling score is 105. Then x is 14 pins less than 105.
1 way: This means that 105 is greater than x by 14. Mathematically,
105-x=14,
-x=14-105,
-x=-91,
x=91.
2 way: When you add 14 to x, you'll get 105.
x+14=105,
x=105-14,
x=91.
Answer: Your final score is 91.
