You need to subtract everything to the left side and set it equal to zero. Combine like terms.
Then, the coefficient of x^2 is a, the coefficient of x is b, and the constant term is c.
4x^2 - 5 = 3x + 4
4x^2 - 3x - 5 - 4 = 0
4x^2 - 3x - 9 = 0
a = 4; b = -3; c = -9
Part A:
Given that <span>the mattress is sold for 50% off of the retail price, let the retail price of the mattress be x, then
50% of x = 1200
⇒ 0.5x = 1200
⇒ x = 1200 / 0.5 = 2400
Therefore, </span><span>the retail price of the mattress, before the discount is $2,400.
Part B:
Given that </span><span>the store marks up the retail price to 150% of the wholesale price. Let the whole sale price be p, then
(100% + 150%) of p = 2400
250% of p = 2400
2.5p = 2400
p = 2400 / 2.5 = 960.
Therefore, </span><span>the wholesale price, before the markup was $960</span>
Short Answer: 560 cm squared
Long Answer:
You can get the volume of a rectangular prism by multiplying the height, width, and length together.
Here are the step for solving this:
1. 3y + 5 > 23
-5 -5
3y/3 > 18/3
y > 6
In words what you are doing is getting y by itself on one side. Subtract the 5 to undo the adding of 5 first. Then, divide both sides by 3.
The answer would probably be D because you don't know what x is.
