Answer:
$51.70 is the original price
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Turn 40% into a decimal which makes it 0.40
ex. 50% would be 0.50, 5% would be 0.05 etc.
Step 2:
Put the numbers into this formula: Original Price (x) - Percent Off times Original Price = Sales Price
x - 0.40x = 31.02 this is basically 1x - 0.40x = 31.02 so,
Solving the left side of our equation gives us 1x - 0.40x = 0.60x
so now you have: 0.60x = 31.02
Step 3:
Divide both sides by 0.60 which gets x by itself and gives us the original price which is $51.70
Hi!
A perfect square is the product of when a whole number is multiplied by itself
Ex:
6 × 6 = 36, 36 is the perfect square.
The number that is being multiplied is the square root.
So to find the correct answer for this question, let's use the process of elimination.
100 = 10 × 10 so we can cross out 100
64 = 8 × 8 so we can cross out 64
25 = 5 × 5 so we can cross out 25
Now all we have left is 24, which is not a perfect square.
Answer: A. 24
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
6 plus or minus square root of 37/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Is the quadratic formula allowed or no?
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
For simplify the work we can start to factorise all the possibles expressions:
2x + 8.
8 is multiple of 2, so it can became
2(x+4)
x^2 - 16 this is a difference of two squares, so it can be rewritten as:
(x+4)(x-4)
x^2 + 8x + 16
we have to find two numbers whose sum is 8 and whose product is 16
the two number are 4 and 4
it becames:
(x+4)(x+4)
x+ 4 can‘t be simplified
if we look at the expression, we can find that x-4 appears at the numerator so
x^2 - 16 must be at numerator
but the second factor (x+4) doesn’t appear, so has been simplified. This situation can be possible only in the D option
in fact
(x+4)(x-4)/2(x+4) * (x+4)/(x+4)(x+4)
it became
(x+4)(x-4)/2 * 1/(x+4)(x+4)
(x-4)/2(x+4)
