Using the quadratic formula to solve x? + 20 = 2x, what are the values of x?
Sergio [31]
I am not sure if the “+” was supposed to go there or if that was just a typo, so I do apologize if this is wrong... but if it doesn’t belong in the equation at all, 20 = 2X is a fairly simply multiplication problem. You are to divide both sides by the 2 and you should get X = 10, because 2 goes into 20, 10 times; and the 2 goes into 2 only once, therefore the 2 now gets cancelled out.

Answer: 20 divided by 2 = 2x divided by 2 is now 10 = X.

Really hope this helps you, have a good day :)

The states C and D spend a total of ​$56.6 million for tourism. The state C spends ​$2.6 million more than the state D. Find the
igomit [66]

Answer:

State C : $30.9 Million       State D : $25.7 Million

Step-by-step explanation:

It may help to just forget about the word "million" and focus on the decimal number part,so one you get the deciaml number you can just put the word million after it as your answer.

First do 56.6 divided by 2, which equals 28.3. Since it said that State C spends 2.6 million more, you hvae to add 28.3 and 2.6 together, which also equals 30.9. So now you know State C spends $30.9 million total. In order to find out how much money State D sends, you have to do 56.6 - 30.9,which comes up to 25.7. So finnaly you know that State C spends 30.9 million dollars and State D spends 25.7 million dollars.

George bought 7 quarts of cleaning fluid: x quarts at $3.00 per quart & y quarts at $2.00 per quart. Find x & y if the t
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

3x + 2y = 16

x = 2 , y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that George bought x quarts at $3.00 per quart & y quarts at $2.00 per quart and he bought 7 quarts for $16.00

Considering the total cost

3x + 2y = 16

For the cost of each

x + y = 7

solving the 2 equations simultaneously be substitution

x = 7 - y

3(7 - y) + 2y = 16

21 - 3y + 2y = 16

-3y + 2y = 16 - 21

-y = - 5

Divide both sides by -1

y = 5

x = 7 -y

x = 7 - 5

= 2
