document.

27

Step-by-step explanation:

jacob copies 30% of a document which is 8 pages

we can solve this using cross multiplication

30 %       :        8

100%      :         x

30%x = 100%*8

30% x = 8

x = 8/ 30%

x = 26.667

to 2sf

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
