He made a mistake in step #2. It seemed to be a trivial mistake because it involved signs, but it still had a great impact. Since step#2, his solution was already wrong.
Instead of
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = 1 + 48 = 49
What he did is
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = -1 + 48 = 47
Answer:
the larger of two printers being used to print the payroll for a major corporation requres 40 min. to print the payroll.So the smaller printer's payroll printing rate is
1 payroll per x min or or
>>...After both printers have been operating for 10 min, the larger printer malfunctions...<<
So the fraction of the payroll that the larger printer did in the 10 minutes
is = payroll.
Step-by-step explanation:
X * 0.85 = 136
x = 136/0.85
x = 160
hope this helps :)
The first number is 27 and the second number is 45 so the ratio would be 27;45
