Answer:
x = −
4 ± √
10,
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 4)² = 20
=> 2(x + 4) (x + 4) = 20
=> 2x + 8 (x + 4) = 20
=> 2x² + 8x + 8x + 32 = 20
=> 2x² + 16x + 32 = 20
=> 2x² + 16x + 12 = 0
=> Now solve using the quadratic formula:
x = −
4 ± √
10,
Radical form: −
4 ± √
10,
Decimal form: -0.84, -7.16
Hope this helps!
Slope formula is y=mx+b so m is the slope and b is the y-int all u do is replace the numbers with the letters and they give u the formula which would be y=-8x-3
Andy's age = x
Jeff's age = x-2
Andy's age in five years = x+5
Jeff's age in five years = x-2+5
The sum of their ages in five years = x+5 + x-2+5
x + 5 + x - 2 + 5 = 40
2x + 8 = 40
<u> -8 -8</u>
2x = 32
<u> :2 :2</u>
x = 16
x - 2 = 14
<u>Andy is 16 years old and Jeff is 14 years old</u>
Y/(X•grams), find the total cost of the gold, then use y to divide the whole thing.
<span>The numerical value that comes before the variable or, if none, the coefficient is 1
