Sample Response/Explanation: I would use the square root property of equality. Because there is no x term, I would just add and divide to get x2 by itself. Then I would take the square root.

I would add 7 to get ...

... 2x² = 16

then divide by 2 to get

... x² = 8

Now, I would take the square root, recognizing that both positive and negative values will solve the problem.

... x = ±√8

The root can be simplified, so we have ...

... x = ±2√2

_____

The above method seemed the most obvious method to me. One could use the quadratic formula, but that seems to involve more operations.

... 2x² -16 = 0 . . . . subtract 9

... x = (-0 ± √(0² -4·2·(-16)))/(2·2) . . . . put the coefficients into the formula

... x = ±(√128)/4 = ±√8 = ±2√2 . . . . . simplify the result

Answer:

The graphs are missing, but we can find the inequality for this problem:

She has $60.

The price of a T-shirt is $10, the price of a sweatshirt is $14.

If T is the number of T-shirts she buys, and S is the number of sweatshirts that she buys, we have:

T + S ≥ 5 (because she wants to buy at least 5 items)

T*$10 + S*$14 < $60 (because she wants to spend under $60)

Those two inequalities define the number of T-shirts and sweatshirts that she can buy.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

90 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the graph, we see that exactly at second 6, the 9th beat occurs. We can take that to beats/min by multiplying that relation by 10 (since there are ten 6sec in one minute).

9beats every 6sec * 10 = 90beats/min

Which expressions are equivalent to 4^{-2} \cdot 7^{-2}4 −2 ⋅7 −2 4, start superscript, minus, 2, end superscript, dot, 7, start
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 4^{-2}•7^{-2}. The following expression are equivalent to given expression on simplification.

Generally from indices, a^-b = 1/a^b. Applying this to the given expression we have:

4^{-2}•7^{-2} = 1/4^2 • 1/7^2

= 1/(4×4) • 1/(7×7)

= 1/16 • 1/49

= 1/(16×49)

= 1/784
