You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us 
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427

When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.

To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7

So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%

$120 because the fencing of the patio would use up eight squares and each square in the picture is 3 meters so we would need 24 meters of fencing to cover up the entire patio. Since it cost $5 for one meter, 5*24 is $120.

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. 5 - 10x - 3x2 = 0
horsena [70]

Answer:

x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 − 10x − 3x² = 0

Write in standard form:

-3x² − 10x + 5 = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

x = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a

x = [ -(-10) ± √((-10)² − 4(-3)(5)) ] / 2(-3)

x = [ 10 ± √(100 + 60) ] / -6

x = (10 ± 4√10) / -6

x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3

Use completing the square to solve for x in the equation (x minus 12) (x + 4) = 9. x = –1 or 15 x = 1 or 7 x = 4 plus-or-minus S
Scrat [10]

Answer:

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9 ← expand the left side using FOIL

x² - 8x - 48 = 9 ( ad 48 to both sides )

x² - 8x = 57

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 57 + 16

(x - 4)² = 73 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{73} ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}
