It has to be noted that there are several ways to factor the item. One of these is shown below. 

The general form of a quadratic equation is,
            Ax² + Bx + C = 0

where A and B are numerical coefficients and C is the constant. If we are to express the given equation in this form, 
        2x² - 5x - 88 = 0

The sum of the roots, x₁ and x₂ is -B/A and the product is equal to C/A.

Sum: x₁ + x₂ = -(-5/2) = 5/2
 Product: x₁x₂ = -88/2 = -44

The values of x₁ and x₂ are 8 and -11/2.

The factors are (x - 8) and (x + 11/2)

<em>ANSWERS: 8 and -11/2. </em>

Shirtbarn is having a sale where everything in the store is 40% off. How much will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at t
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

$89.60 will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at the register

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a rule of three.

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease.

In this problem, we have the following measures:

-The total money

-The percentage of money

As the percentage of money increases, so does the total money. It means that the relationship between the measures is direct.

The problem states that Shirtbarn is having a sale where everything in the store is 40% off. It means that in every purchase, you save 40% of the money.

How much will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at the register?

40% of 224 will be saved. So

$224 - 1

$x - 0.4

x = 224*0.4

x = $89.60

$89.60 will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at the register
