First. Find out what 25% of 500 is,then minus that from 500 five times.
It wont be worth anything because it will be $-125 in 5 years.
500-125-125-125-125-125= -125
Answer:
x = -2
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Excluded values are the ones which make the denominator zero
3x² + x - 10
3x² + 6x - 5x - 10
3x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2)
(x + 2)(3x - 5)
x² - 6x - 16
x² - 8x + 2x - 16
x(x - 8) + 2(x - 8)
(x - 8)(x + 2)
[(x + 2)(3x - 5)] ÷ [(x - 8)(x + 2)]
(3x - 5)/(x - 8)
So excluded values are 8, -2
Answer:
26 candy bars and 12 sodas
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by a simple system of equations
I am going to call x the number of candy bars that Sally bought and y the number of sodas that Sally bought.
The fact that she bought 38 itens means the x + y = 38.
She spent $50.38. The value she spent is the sum of the number of candy bars multplied by the value of the candy bar and the number of sodas multiplied by value of a soda. So 1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38
So we have to solve the following system:
1)x + y = 38
2)1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38
From 1), we have that x = 38 - y. I am going to replace it in 2)
1.25(38-y) + 1.49y = 50.38
-1.25y + 1.49y = 50.38 - 47.5
0.24y = 2.88
y = 12.
Sally bought 12 sodas.
In 1: x = 38-y = 38-12 = 26
Sally bourght 26 candy bars
