Answer:
x = -3+√5, -3-√5 (exact roots)
or x = -0.76, -5.24 to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x = - 4
Completing the square:
(x + 3)^2 - 9 = -4
(x + 3)^2 = 5
x + 3 = +/-√5
x = - 3 + √5, - 3 - √5
Just multiply them so first multiply 2.7 times .9 and then times your answer by .6

Answer:
107°
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.
X = 180° -Q
X = 180° -73° = 107°
Answer:
y = 1/4x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is four points behind the origin, so we subtract -4 from the equation:
y = 1/4x - 4
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
