x² – 6x= 5
Answer:
x = 8.7 or x = 1.3
Step-by-step explanation:
x² – 6x= 5
(b/2)² = (6/2)² = 9 (Using Completing the square method)
x² – 6x + 9 = 5 + 9
(x -5)² = 14
x-5 = √14
x-5 = ±3.7
Either x-5 =3.7 or x-5 = -3.7
x = 3.7+5 or x = -3.7+5
x = 8.7 or x = 1.3
Answer:
25 questions
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to this question can be solved by setting up a proportion, or equivalent ratios (fractions). Since we know that 18 questions was equal to 72% correct on the test, we can set up a proportion to find the total number of questions:
, where 'x' represents the total number of questions (or 100%) of the questions on the test.
Cross-multiply and divide: 72x = 18(100) or 72x = 1800
Divide both sides by 72: 72x/72 = 1800/72
Solve for x: x = 25 questions
