Answer:the college bookstore paid

$57.86 for the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price that the college bookstore paid the publisher to get the book.

The college bookstore marks up the price by 40%. It means that the value of the mark up would be .40/100 × x = 0.4 × x = 0.4x

Therefore, the selling price of the book at the college bookstore would be

x + 0.4x = 1.4x

If the selling price of a book is $ 81.00, it means that

1.4x = 81

x = 81/1.4 = $57.86

Solve for the roots in simplest form by completing the square <br><br> x^2-12x+20=0
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2

What is the value of x in the solution to the system<br> x+y=10<br> x-y=4
ANEK [815]

Answer:

x = 7; y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the Trial and Error Method and found that x = 7 and y = 3

=> 7 + 3 = 10

=> 10 = 10. ✔

=> 7 - 3 = 4

=> 4 = 4. ✔

Therefore, x = 7 and y = 3

Hoped this helped.
