Question

w/2 + 36 =12w, { 0,2,4,6}

0
2
4
6

Answer 1

Are you supposed to solve for w?

Answer 2

i think...idk

Answer 3

its w to the power of 2 where it has the /

Answer 4

oh! so \[w^2+36=12w\]?

Answer 5

Are you familiar with the quadratic formula?

Answer 6

Or completing the square?

Answer 7

yeah! and no...

Answer 8

Okay, well it's a good day to learn something new!

Answer 9

So the quadratic formula is just this...\[\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

Answer 10

What is that lol...

Answer 11

Is this Algebra 2?

Answer 12

i belive its pre algebra...

Answer 13

Really? never mind the quadratic equation then.

Answer 14

I don't think I ever had powers in pre algebra lol...

Answer 15

lol its okay ill move on to the next problem...

Answer 16

But, an easy (sort of cheating way) is just to plug in all the values for w and see which one works.

Answer 17

ok

Answer 18

Are you sure of this question ?

Answer 19

0.5 w + 36 = 12 w ?

Answer 20

w power 2 = w^2 not w/2
/ = division

Answer 21

sorry its, w to the power of 2 plus 36 = 12

Answer 22

oh, not 12x?

Answer 23

12w*

Answer 24

it s12w

Answer 25

any guesses on whats the answer?

Answer 26

If this is pre algebra, you won't know the quadratic equation so that's out of the question. All we can do in this case, is plug in each of the values and see which one deems true.\[(0)^2+36=12(0)\]\[(2)^2+36=12(2)\]\[(4)^2+36=12(4)\]\[(6)^2+36=12(6)\]

Can you simplify each of these for me?

Answer 27

ok
