Same case as Pablo's, more or less.

a = price for the desktop

b = price for the laptop

we know the laptop is 150 bucks more than the desktop,  b = a + 150.

how much is 7% of a?  (7/100) * a, 0.07a.

how much is 9.5% of b?  (9.5/100) * b, 0.095b.

total interests for the financing add up to 303, 0.07a + 0.095b = 303.

\bf \begin{cases}
\boxed{b}=a+150\\
0.07a+0.095b=303\\
----------\\
0.07a+0.095\left(\boxed{a+150}  \right)=303
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.07a+0.095a+14.25=303\implies 0.165a=288.75
\\\\\\
a=\cfrac{288.75}{0.165}\implies a=1750

how much was it for the laptop?  well b = a + 150.

I know that x=0 but I don't know how I really got that.
galina1969 [7]
Sqrt(x+4-3)=1 
sqrt (x+1) = 1 
x+1 = 1^2 
x=1-1
x=0 

This is how you would get x=0 

Hope I helped :)

A museum worker randomly displays 5 historical writings in a row. What is the probability that the worker lines them up from the
Mars2501 [29]

The number of ways to arrange the 5 writings in a row is 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 ways.

There is only 1 way to arrange the writings from oldest to newest.

Therefore, the probability is 1/120.

What is the sum of 5x^2y and (2xy^2 + x^2y)
eimsori [14]
Recognize that you must combine "like" terms.  5x^2y and x^2y are "like" terms.

Adding them together, you get 6x^2y.  

Now add 2xy^2 to 6x^2y.  These are NOT "like" terms, so you end up with 
6x^2y+2xy^2 as your final answer.  This answer is acceptable as is.  

However, you could factor out the common factors:  2xy(3x+y).
