Answer:27 pieces were sold at the original price.
63 pieces were sold at the new price
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the original price.
Let y represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the new price.
They sold some of their pottery at the original price of $9.50 for each piece. This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the original price would be 9.5x
They later decreased the price of each piece by $2. This means that the new price was 9.5 - 2 = $7.5
This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the new price would be 7.5y
If they sold all 90 pieces and took in $729, then the equations are
x + y = 90
9.5x + 7.5y = 729 - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 90 - y into equation 1, it becomes
9.5(90 - y) + 7.5y = 729
855 - 9.5y + 7.5y = 729
- 9.5y + 7.5y = 729 - 855
- 2y = - 126
y = - 126/- 2 = 63
Substituting y = 63 into x = 90 - y, it becomes
x = 90 - 63 = 27
Answer:
2.07%
Step-by-step explanation:
92 out of a total of 3,204 graduates earned a professional degree. That works out to 0.0207, or 2.07%.
The answer would be C because in order to find the area of a figure, you would need to multiply its height by its width. finding the area of a figure is the same as finding how many units are in a figure. because this is a square and all the sides are equal, by counting the total number of units, you can find the area.
FVAD=515[((1+0.18/12)^(12*2)-1)/(0.18/12)]*(1+0.18/12)
FVAD=14967.46
Problem # 1
Not Factored: (5x^2 - 13x - 6)
Factored: (5x + 2 )(x - 3)
There is no real "work" to be shown for this, you can see that
1) Seperating 5x^2 into 5x and x will get you the equation in the form:
(5x ) (x ) = 5x^2 +
2) To complete this factor you need to guess which two numbers will add together to give you - 13x and multiply to form -6 (from the original unfactored equation). The numbers that will do this are 2 and 3
3) You can plug in negative or positives of those numbers to make sure they give you the exact results you need.
For example testing -2 and 3 you will get: (5x - 2) (x + 3 ) = 5(x^2) - 2x + 15x - 6 = 5x^2 +13x - 6. This is NOT the same as the unfactored equation. So you know -2 and 3 is the wrong choice. Choosing 2 and -3 will give you the answer instead.
As i said, there's no actual "work" to show this, you have to make guesses and try to factor it.

Problem # 2
Not Factored: 4x^4 - 28x^3 + 48x^2
Factored: 4x^2 (x^2 - 7x + 12) =
4x^2 (x - 3) (x - 4)
To solve this, you factor out the 4x^2 from the entire equation. Then you can further factor the quadratic equation by seperating x^2 into (x )(x ) and guessing for which numbers will add to -7x and multiply to 12
