Pete played 18 tennis matches in a week. jack played 6 fewer matches than pete.

how many times the number of matches pete played is the number of matches jack played?

Step-by-step explanation:

Pete played 18 tennis matches in a week.

P = 18

Jack played 6 fewer matches than Pete.

J = P - 6

J = 18 - 6

J = 12

How many times the number of matches pete played is the number of matches jack played?

18 / 12 = 1.5

Pete played 1.5 times the number of matches that Jack played.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
