The expression 2(a+b)=−8.1 for certain values of a and b. Find the value of the following expressions for the same values of a and b: −0.5(a+b)

2.025

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, you don't necessarily need to find the exact values of a and b. Rather, find the value of (a+b) first, and then you can substitute it into the next equation. First, you can divide both sides of the first equation 2(a+b)= -8.1 by 2, to get (a+b)=-4.05. Now, subsitute the value of (a+b) into the second equation, -0.5(a+b), to get -0.5(-4.05). From here, you can calculate that -0.5 times -4.05 is  2.025. Hope this helped!

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
