Eya is 5 years younger than 3 times Bills age. If Eya is 28 how old is Bill?

1 answer:

4 0

Bill's age = x

Eya's age = 3x - 5

Eya is 28

28 = 3x - 5

28 (+5) = 3x -5 (+5)

33 = 3x

33/3 = 3x/3

x = 11

Bill = x

x = 11

Bill is 11 years old

hope this helps

Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1 and $x^2+(-8)x=9$

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation $x^2-8x-9$

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is $ax^2+bx+c=0$

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant $D=b^{2}-4ac$

$D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100$

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$

Now, substituting the values we will get

$x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1$

And rewritting the given equation by shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

$x^2+bx=c$

A portion of the Quadratic Formula proof is shown. Fill in the missing statement.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x+\frac{b}{2a} =\pm\sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}$

Simplify the right side of the equation

we know that

$\pm\sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{\sqrt{4a^2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

The expression is

$x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

therefore

x plus b over 2 times a equals plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c, all over 2 times a

Please help me. I don’t know how to do this I really need this answer.

Ainat [17]

The answer is c.
I will explain

p - 2r = q

1. Move variable to the right by adding it’s opposites on both sides

p - 2r + 2r = q + 2r

2. Eliminate the opposites (-2r and +2r)

p = q + 2r
