If a number is decreased by its square the result is 2/9. find the number

1 answer:

6 0

Let x be the number.
x-x²=2/9, so 9x-9x²=2 or 9x²-9x+2=0=(3x-2)(3x-1). Therefore x=2/3 or 1/3.
Check: 2/3-4/9=6/9-4/9=2/9 and 1/3-1/9=3/9-1/9=2/9.

Rida and elisa are each paid by the hour. rida worked 5 1\2. hours and earned 77. elisa worked 3 3\4 HOURS AND EARNED 60. WHOSE

skad [1K]

Rida:
5 1/2 :77
5.5 : 77
Divide both sides by 5.5 to get $/hour:
1:14

Elisa:
3 3/4:60
3.75:60
Divide both sides by 3.75 to get $/hour:
1:16

16 is bigger than 14 so Elisa earns more.

Hope this helps :)
