Kim has read 42 pages of a book. That is 20% of the total number of pages. How many pages long is Kim's book?

20% is 1/5 of 100, so we multiply 42 by 5 to get 210.
Therefore, Kim's book is 210 pages long.

Hi there! The answer is 210 pages.

We can find our answer by looking at the proportions:
20 % is 42 pages.
10 % is 21 pages (42 / 2).
100% is 210 pages. (21 × 10).

Given y= 2x squared - 10x find all the real values of x for which y = -3

Thepotemich [5.8K]

$y=2 x^{2} -10x \\ -3=2 x^{2} -10x \\ 2 x^{2} -10x+3=0 \\ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}, \ where \ a=2, \ b=-10, \ c=3$
Therefore,
$x=\frac{-(-10) \pm \sqrt{ (-10)^{2} -(4 \times 2 \times 3)} }{2 
\times 2} \\ =\frac{10 \pm \sqrt{ 100 -24} }{4} \\ =\frac{10 \pm \sqrt{ 
76} }{4} \\= \frac{10 + \sqrt{ 76} }{4} \ or \ \frac{10 - \sqrt{ 76} 
}{4} \\ =4.679 \ or \ 0.3206$

That’s a weird input for a problem, it’s just a bunch of slashes, probably radical

2x – 4y = 14<br> x = 2y – 2<br><br> What is the solution to the system?

anastassius [24]

2x-4y=14
X=2y-2

2x-4y=14
x-2y=-2

x-2y=12
x-y=-6
