110 (goal) - 50 (base pay) = 60 (pay from sales only)

60 (total pay from sales) / 3 (cost per individual sale) = 20 (qty of sales)

3s+50=|110
|-50
<u>3</u>s= <u>60</u>
3 3
s =20

Therefore the salesperson will need 20 sales.

rectangle A has a length of 24 meters and a width of 20 meters. rectangle B has the same area as rectangle A. the width of recta

blagie [28]

To solve this, first we'll find the area of the rectangle A,

Area=length × width
?=24m×20m
480m=24m×20m
480m squared=area of the rectangle A

now we'll find the width of rectangle B,
"the width of rectangle B is 12 meters less than the width of rectangle A",
20m-12m= 8m
8m=width of rectangle B

finally we'll find the length of rectangle B,
area of the rectangle B= 480msquared
width= 8m
length=? (to find this divide the area by the width)
480÷8=60m
length of the rectangle B=60m

Which equation has the solutions x=1+or-square root of 5?

stiv31 [10]

We will proceed to solve each case to determine the solution of the problem.

<u>case a)</u> $x^{2}+2x+4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+2x=-4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+2x+1=-4+1$

$x^{2}+2x+1=-3$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+1)^{2}=-3$

$(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{-3}\\(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{3}i\\x=-1(+/-)\sqrt{3}i$

therefore

case a) is not the solution of the problem

<u>case b)</u> $x^{2}-2x+4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}-2x=-4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}-2x+1=-4+1$

$x^{2}-2x+1=-3$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-1)^{2}=-3$

$(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{-3}\\(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{3}i\\x=1(+/-)\sqrt{3}i$

therefore

case b) is not the solution of the problem

<u>case c)</u> $x^{2}+2x-4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+2x=4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+2x+1=4+1$

$x^{2}+2x+1=5$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+1)^{2}=5$

$(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{5}\\x=-1(+/-)\sqrt{5}$

therefore

case c) is not the solution of the problem

<u>case d)</u> $x^{2}-2x-4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}-2x=4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}-2x+1=4+1$

$x^{2}-2x+1=5$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-1)^{2}=5$

$(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{5}\\x=1(+/-)\sqrt{5}$

therefore

case d) is the solution of the problem

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$x^{2}-2x-4=0$
