A store charges a restocking fee for any returned item based upon the item price. An item priced at $200 has a fee of $12. An it

Answer:

Both ratios reduce to the same ratio 3/50, so the restocking fee is proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the $200, the restocking fee is $12, so the ratio of the restocking fee to the price of the item is 12/200.

For the $150, the restocking fee is $9, so the ratio of the restocking fee to the price of the item is 9/150.

Now we find out if the ratios 12/200 and 9/150 are equal.

12/200 = 3/50

9/150 = 3/50

Both ratios reduce to the same ratio 3/50, so the restocking fee is proportional.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=4\pm2\sqrt6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-6x+12=2x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{and}\ 12\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2-8x=8\\\\x^2-2(x)(4)=8\qquad\text{add}\ 4^2=16\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(4)+4^2=8+4^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-4)^2=24\iff x-4=\pm\sqrt{24}\\\\x-4=\pm\sqrt{4\cdot6}\\\\x-4=\pm\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt6\\\\x-4=\pm2\sqrt6\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\x=4\pm2\sqrt6$
