Okay, so this is what I came to. I think that you might need to look through the placement of the problem again and your x's, but other than that, here it is!

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span>425=<span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x

</span></span></span>Step 2: Subtract -250x^2+6250x from both sides.<span><span>425−<span>(<span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x</span></span>)</span></span>=<span><span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x</span></span>−<span>(<span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x</span></span>)</span></span></span><span><span><span><span>250<span>x2</span></span>−<span>6250x</span></span>+425</span>=0
</span>
Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=250, b=-6250, c=425.<span>x=<span><span><span>−b</span>±<span>√<span><span>b2</span>−<span><span>4a</span>c</span></span></span></span><span>2a</span></span></span><span>x=<span><span><span>−<span>(<span>−6250</span>)</span></span>±<span>√<span><span><span>(<span>−6250</span>)</span>2</span>−<span><span>4<span>(250)</span></span><span>(425)</span></span></span></span></span><span>2<span>(250)</span></span></span></span><span>x=<span><span>6250±<span>√38637500</span></span>500</span></span><span><span>x=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span><span>110</span><span>√15455</span></span><span> or </span></span>x</span></span></span>=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span>−1</span>10</span><span>√15455
</span></span></span></span><u>
Answer:</u><span><span>x=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span><span>110</span><span>√15455</span></span><span> or </span></span>x</span></span></span>=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span>−1</span>10</span><span>√<span>15455</span></span></span></span></span>

What is -7(x-2)=1=15-7x
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-7(x + -2) + 1 = 15 + -7x

Reorder the terms:

-7(-2 + x) + 1 = 15 + -7x

(-2 * -7 + x * -7) + 1 = 15 + -7x

(14 + -7x) + 1 = 15 + -7x

Reorder the terms:

14 + 1 + -7x = 15 + -7x

Combine like terms: 14 + 1 = 15

15 + -7x = 15 + -7x

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.

15 + -15 + -7x = 15 + -15 + -7x

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

0 + -7x = 15 + -15 + -7x

-7x = 15 + -15 + -7x

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

-7x = 0 + -7x

-7x = -7x

Add '7x' to each side of the equation.

-7x + 7x = -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0

0 = -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0

0 = 0

Solving

0 = 0

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.

Avery goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $9.80. A sales tax of 6% was added on. Avery tipped 19% on the amount
love history [14]

Answer:

12.36

Step-by-step explanation:

price x sales tax rate =sales tax

9.80 x .06=sales tax

.59=sales tax

price + sales tax=price with sales tax included

9.80+.59=10.39

price with sales tax x tip percentage=tip amount

10.39 x .19=1.97

price with sales tax + tip = total amount

10.39+1.97=12.36
