(sorry if i'm spamming questions, i just need on some of the questions and i barely post any questions on here.)

In a recent basketball game between the storm and the chargers, the number of points scored by the storm in the first half was equal to the number of points scored by the chargers in the second half of the game. in the first half, the storm scored 64 points, which is one - third of the total points that were scored during the game. during the second half, the chargers scored 16 points more than one - fourth the points scored in the game. you want to know how many total points that were scored during the game. 1. write an equation that models this situation. then, solve the equation. 2. how many total points were scored during the game? explain your reasoning. 3. does your answer make sense? justify your reasoning.

The first few steps in solving the quadratic equation 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x by completing the square are shown. 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x 9x2 + 54x = 22 9(x2 + 6x) = 22 which is the best step to do next to solve the equation by completing the square? 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 25 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 49 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 31 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 103

Solve each quadratic equation by factoring and using the zero product property. x^2 + 18x = 9x
