Answer:the candidate polled 216000 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of votes(both valid and invalid) is 600000. 10% of the total number of votes were declared invalid. This means that the total number of invalid votes is

10/100× 600000 = 0.1×600000 = 60000 votes. Total number of valid votes = 600000 - 60000 = 540000.

If a candidate got 40% of the valid votes, it means that the total number of votes that the candidate got would be

40/100×540000 = 0.4 × 540000 = 216000 votes

The difference between two numbers is 2 and their product is 224. What are the numbers?
Sati [7]

Let x,y be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:

x-y=2 (the difference between the two numbers is 2)

xy=224 (their product is 224)

From the first equation, we can deduce x=y+2

If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have

xy = (y+2)y = 224 \iff y^2+2y-224 =0

If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions

y=-16,\quad y=14

So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:

\begin{cases} x = -14\\y=-16\end{cases},\quad\begin{cases} x = 16\\y=14\end{cases}

Suppose that 13 inches of wire costs 52 cents. At the same rate, how many inches of wire can be bought for 32 cents?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

So we have a ratio which you have specified 13:52. So we just need to get the same ratio for 13. 32/52 is how we get 32 from multiplying by 52. So now we just need to multiply it for 13 also'

13*32/52 = 8. Therefore the answer to this is 8

Four students were asked to write an expression which has terms that have a greatest common factor of 8c. The expressions provid
wel

Answer:

Wyatt wrote the correct expression

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are to evaluate which of the students wrote an expression with the highest common factor being 8c

For Tanya; 32c + 16c; 16c( 2 + 1); This is wrong as the highest common factor is 16c

For Wyatt, we have 8c - 48cd; factorizing, we have 8c(1-6cd); This is correct

For Xavier we have 36c-24c; 8 is not a factor of 36, so it won’t work

For Yang 8c + 40; 8(c+ 5); what we are trying to look for is 8c and not 8 so this is wrong also

Evaluate 7(-4) - |-6| + |4| <br> A. 13<br> B.-18<br> C. -30
tester [92]

Hello there!

Answer: ⇒ C. -30

_________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

First you had to remove parenthesis.

-7*4-|-6|+|4|

Then you multiply by the number.

=-28-|-6|+|4|

Apply absolute value.

|-6|=6

=-28-6+|4|

Again apply absolute value.

|4|=4

=-28-6+4

Simplify it's should be the correct answer.

=-30
