Answer:

The price before tax was $110

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the price paid totals $129.25, including b (the pre-tax price) an 17.5% of b: b + 0.175b = $129.25. Combining the b terms, we get:

1.175b = $129.25. Solving for b by dividing both sides by 1.175, we get

b = $110. The price before tax was $110.

Which equation involves a prime quadratic and cannot be solved by factoring? A. x2 + 5x − 4 = 0 B. x2 − x − 6 = 0 C. x2 + 3x − 4

Damm [24]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can try to factorize all the options one by one.

For A:

$x^{2} +5x-4\\=> x^{2}+4x+x-4\\=>x(x+4)+1(x-4)$

We can see that the quadratic expression cannot be solved by factorization as the factors at the end of factorization are not equal in both brackets. So Option A is the correct answer for the given question.

Moreover we can also note that all the other quadratic expressions can be factorized ..
