x^2 + 5x = -2
x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0
We need to use the quadratic formula.
In the formula, a = 1, b = 5 and c = 2.
See picture for quadratic formula. Plug in the value for a, b, and c into the formula and do the math.
Answer:
84
Step-by-step explanation: (edited)
52% problems are pointless i.e. 48% are NOT pointless.
Recall that 1% = 1/100.
Therefore 48% = 48/100 = 12/25.
Let x be the number of problems that are not pointless.
x/175 = 12/25
x = 84
Answer:
33.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the percent change is x%. Then the equation is:
30 + x% * 30 = 40
Subtract 30 from both sides:
x% * 30 = 10
Divide by 30:
x% = 10/30 = 1/3
Remember that % simply means "out of 100", so:
x/100 = 1/3
Multiply both sides by 100:
x = (1/3) * 100 = 33.3%
The answer should be approximately 0.4
0.025 is your answer ..hope it will help
