Answer:

\large\boxed{\red{\sf x =6+\sqrt{53},6-\sqrt{53}} }

Step-by-step explanation:

We would like to solve the given quadratic equation by <u>c</u><u>o</u><u>m</u><u>p</u><u>l</u><u>e</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>square</u><u> </u><u>method</u> .The given equation is ;

\longrightarrow  x^2=12x +17

Subtract 12x to both sides ,

\longrightarrow x^2-12x = 17

Here the co-efficient of x² is already 1 . So , we shall rewrite it as ,

\longrightarrow x^2-2(6)(x) = 17

Add 6² on both sides ,

\longrightarrow x^2-2(6)(x) + 6^2=17+6^2

Now LHS is in the form of (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b² ; so that ;

\longrightarrow  (x -6)^2 = 17+36

Simplify RHS ,

\longrightarrow (x-6)^2=53

Put square root on both sides,

\longrightarrow  (x-6) = \pm\sqrt{53}

Add 6 on both sides,

\longrightarrow x = 6\pm\sqrt{53}

Separate the two solutions ,

\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{x =6+\sqrt{53},6-\sqrt{53}}}

And we are done!

Alekssandra [29.7K]
Given:
10 yards required
5 2/3 yards on hand.

We need to subtract the yards on hand from the total yards required.

First, we need to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

5 2/3 = ((5*3)+2)/3 = (15+2)/3 = 17/3

Second, we need to multiply 10 by a fraction that will give us the denominator of 3.

10 * 3/3 = (10*3)/3 = 30/3

Third, we do subtraction using our derived fractions.

30/3 - 17/3 = (30-17)/3 = 13/3

Lastly, we simplify the improper fraction. Improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator. Its simplified form is a mixed fraction.

13/3 = 4 1/3

Arliss needs to buy 4 1/3 yards more to complete the required yard length.
