Answer:
a = ± 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Expressing the proportion in fractional form
=
( cross- multiply )
(a -1 )(a + 1) = 15 ← expand factors on left side
a² - 1 = 15 ( add 1 to both sides )
a² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )
a = ±
= ± 4
Step-by-step explanation:
12x-15-4x+1=-6

my answer is 100 % correct
Answer: desktop = $1750, laptop = $1900
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the cost of the desktop
then x + 150 is the cost of the laptop.
.07x + .055(x + 150) = 227
.07x + .055x + 8.25 = 227
.125x = 218.75
x = 1750
desktop (x) = $1750
laptop (x + 150) = $1750 + $150 = $1900
