Answer:
, solution is $14.29
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create an equation for this scenario to try and solve it.
Assuming the cost of the CD is x, it’s sale tax will be 0.05x (as that is 5% of x, 0.05.)
We can write the equation in two ways:
or 
.
Assuming we take the second one (easier to work with), we can divide both sides by 1.05. The equation simplifies to x = 14.289... which rounds to x = 14.29.
Therefore, the equation is and the solution is $14.29.
Hope this helped!
Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.
Answer:
-86
Step-by-step explanation:
-8((-11/4)-8)
((11/4-8)
8x(-43/4)
-2×43=-86
1.500 since 45 rounds to 50
I think this is y = 2/1x+1
