Answer: x" = 5.69
Step-by-step explanation:
The graphic solution is attached.
Verifying the solution:
Existence condition: x > 0
2x - 4 = √x + 5
√x =2x - 4 - 5
√x =2x - 9 (²)
x = (2x - 9)²
x = 4x² - 36x + 81
4x² - 36x - x + 81 = 0
4x² - 37x + 81 = 0
Δ = -37² - 4.4.81 = 1369 - 1296 = 73
x = 37 ±√73/8
x' = 3.55
x" = 5.69
checking:
2*3.55 - 4 = 3.1
√3.55 + 5 = 6.88 Its not the same ∴ 3.55 is not a solution
2*5.69 - 4 = 7.39
√5.69 + 5 = 7.39 ∴ it's the only solution
1/6 + 5/8 =
8/48 + 30/48 = 38/48 reduces to 19/24 <==== total gallons of paint
Answer:
The answer is $19.44
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to find 25% of $28.80 (which is 7.20). Then, you subtract the $7.20 from your 28.80. You do that because you are getting a 25% discount. Then, you find 10% of $21.60 (your answer for the 25% discount) and you subtract 10% of $21.60. After that, you get your total of $19.44.
