The formula for the quadratic formula is x (c in this case) = (-b(+/-)√(b²-4ac))/2a
This is used for an equation in standard quadratic form: ax² + bx + c = 0
1.) Put it in the correct form, if not already in it.
Ex. c² + 6c + 8 = 0
2.) Identify each part of the equation:
a = 1 (the leading coefficient), b = 6 (the coefficient in front of the second variable), c = 8
3.) Plug in each variable answer
c = (-6(+/-)√(6²-4(1)(8))/2(1)
4.) Simplify
c = (-6(+/-)√(36-(4*8))/2
c = (-6(+/-)√(36-32))/2
c = (-6(+/-)√(4))/2
c = (-6(+/-)2)/2
*Here, the equation splits in two. It becomes:
c = (-6+2)/2 AND c = (-6-2)/2
*Simplify again:
c = -4/2 AND c = -8/2
c = -2 AND c = -4
The answers c = -2 and c = -4 would solve the given equation.
Hope this helps! :)
To figure out the cost per cookie, divide $2.49 by 3. The cost per 1 cookie (column 1) would be .83 cents.
To figure out the cost of 20 cookies, multiply 20 x .83 cents. The answer is 20 cookies would cost $16.60
To figure out how many cookies would cost $145,25, divide $145.25 by .83 cents. The answer is 175 cookies would cost $145.25
Answer:
Y = X times 0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You set it up as a proportionality
12/1 and 3.36/x
The x stands for how much money it takes to get 1 ounce
2. You do the old man line.
12 times x = 3.36 times 1
12x = 3.36
3. Now you divide 3.36 by 12
3.36 divided by 12
.28
4. You insert 0.28 into the problem
12 times 0.28 = 3.36
X = 0.28
So 1 ounce costs $0.28
So Y = X times 0.28
Minus 12 over 16 and 12 over 16
There you go!
