75/100 = 0.75

--------------------

12 x 0.75 = 9

* The mine elevator travels a
distance of 9 metres per minute.

---------------------

After 2 minutes, the mine elevator
would've travelled 18 metres,
therefore your answer is:

A: -18 metres

The battery on McKenzies old computer can last 4(1/5) hours. She bought a new computer that has a battery that can last 40% long
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

5\frac{22}{25}\ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

4\frac{1}{5}\ hours=\frac{4*5+1}{5}=\frac{21}{5}\ hours

100\%+40\%=140\%=\frac{140}{100}

Let

x ------> new battery life

The equation that represent this situation is

x=\frac{140}{100} (\frac{21}{5})=\frac{2,940}{500}\ hours

convert to mixed number

\frac{2,940}{500}=\frac{2,500}{500}+\frac{440}{500}=5\frac{22}{25}\ hours

Find x (Will mark brainliest if you are right)
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3x + 2)(45x + 21) + (-4x + 25) = 50

-135x^2 - 63x + 90x + 42 - 4x + 25 = 50

-135x^2 + 23x + 67 = 50

-135x^2 + 23x + 67 - 50 = 0

-135x^2 + 23x + 17 = 0

quadratic formula : x = (-b ± √b^2 - 4ac)/2a

a = -135, b = 23, c = 17

x = -23 ± √23^2 - 4(-135)(17) / (2(-135)

x = (-23 ±√9709 )/ -270

x = 23/270 ± 1 / 270√9709/270

x = 0.4501 or x = - 0.2798 <=== these answers are rounded
