57% people ordered steak. 120 did not. how many customers were there that night?

1 answer:

4 0

X - number of customers

$120+57\%x=x\\
120+0.57x=x\\
0.43x=120\\
x\approx297.07$

There can't be a fraction of the number of people, so there must be some mistake in the question.

Solve this quadratic equation by completing the square.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$x=-3+\sqrt{27}\\ x=-3-\sqrt{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find our C value for the quadratic equation.

$(\frac{6}{2})^{2} = 9$

That is our C. Since we added 9 to one side, we have to do the same to the other. We get:

$x^{2} +6x + 9 = 18 + 9\\x^{2} +6x + 9 = 27$

Now, lets form the left side as a binomial squared.

$(x+3)^{2} = 27$

Let's square both sides now:

$x+3 = (+/-)\sqrt{27}$

Now, we subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable, X:

$x= -3(+/-)\sqrt{27}$

This means that the answers are:

$x=-3+\sqrt{27}\\ x=-3-\sqrt{27}$

I do not understand your answers though. Answer A makes no sense, answer B is 221, answer C is 115, and answer D also does not make sense. If you could clarify this portion, maybe I can help you find your alphabetic answer
