Let the cost of one book= x cents
Let the money john have= y cents

According to the question,

45x=y                                               ...eq(1)
(45+5)(x-5)=y                                  
50(x-5)=y                                         
50x-250=y                                        ...eq(2)

On subtracting (1) from (2).
(50x-250)-45x=y-y
5x-250=0
x=250/5
x=50

Thus, cost of each book is 50 cents and john has 2250 cents.

Hope it helps.
Don't feel shy in saying thx if it helps.

What is the factor of k2 + k - 42
marin [14]

Answer:

(k + 7) • (k - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Final result :

 (k + 7) • (k - 6)

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "k2"   was replaced by   "k^2".

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1     Factoring  k2+k-42

The first term is,  k2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +k  its coefficient is  1 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -42

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -42 = -42

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -42  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   1 .

     -42    +    1    =    -41

     -21    +    2    =    -19

     -14    +    3    =    -11

     -7    +    6    =    -1

     -6    +    7    =    1    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -6  and  7

                    k2 - 6k + 7k - 42

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   k • (k-6)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   7 • (k-6)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (k+7)  •  (k-6)

            Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

 (k + 7) • (k - 6)

Solve for x in the diagram below (x+42)
yarga [219]

Answer:

<em>x = 12 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 42)° + 3x° = 90°

x + 3x + 42 = 90

4x = 90 - 42

4x = 48

<em>x = 12</em>
