As decimal answers:
x = -6.2749172 ≈-6.3
x = 1.27491722 ≈ 1.3
Step-by-step explanation:
For quadratic equations, you can use the quadratic formula. Rearrange the equation to standard from, which is ax² + bx + c = 0.
x² = –5x + 8
x² + 5x - 8 = 0
State the values for "a", "b" and "c",
a = 1; b = 5; c = -8
(Ignore the Â, it's a formatting error)
Simplify
Two negatives make a positive
Split the equation at the ± for plus and minus:
= 1.27491722 ≈ 1.3
= -6.2749172 ≈ -6.3
Therefore the solutions are 1.3 and -6.3.
The answer the the question is A.
Answer:
The side of the square is 5.971 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
If the square fits the circle exactly, then its diagonal is equal to the diameter of the circle. Since the side of the square has a length of cm, then it's diagonal have the length of cm. Using the circle's area we can find the diagonal of the square, as shown below:
Since the diameter of the circle is the same as the diagonal of the square, then:
The side of the square is 5.971 cm
Let x = the amount that Seini earned
Then x + 25 = the amount that Gavin
The amount Gavin earned would also = 425 - x (your directions asked you to have 2 equations.)
Together they earned 425:
x + (x + 25) = 425
2x + 25 = 425
2x = 400
Now divide both sides by 2 to find x.
Use all of this data to satisfy the directions.
Answer:
12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
I warn you, I'm not positive I'm correct.
First I added 8+10+6 and got 24
I divided that by 3 and got 8
I divided 100 by 8 because if you cross multiply 1/8 and x/100 you would get 8x = 100
100 ÷ 8 = 12.5
So I got 12.5%
