Answer:

Declan bought 3 books and 4 magazines

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of books bought be x

Let number of magazines bought be y

Total number of books and magazines bought = x + y = 7

∴ x + y = 7  - - - - - (1)

x = 7 - y     - - - - - (2)

we are also told that total amount spent = $33; when price per book = $5; and price per magazine = $4.5

∴ 5(x) + 4.5(y) = 33 - - - - - - - (3)

substituting equation 2 ( x = 7 - y ) into equation 3:

5(x) + 4.5(y) = 33

= 5 (7 - y) + 4.5(y) = 33

35 - 5y + 4.5y = 33

35 -0.5y = 33

35 = 33 + 0.5y

35 - 33 = 0.5y

0.5y = 2

y = 2 ÷ 0.5 = 4

∴ y = 4

solving for x, by putting the value of y into equation 2:

x = 7 - y     - - - - (2)

x = 7 - 4 = 3

∴ x = 3

Therefore, Declan bought 3 books and 4 magazines.

(-7-6) - 16 = −29

(4+6) - 15 = −5

14/3 + 2/9 = 44/9

8/3 x 1/5 = 8/15

3/4 % 8/15 = 1/250

Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation –2 = –x + x2 – 4 into the quadratic formula?
ASHA 777 [7]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

x=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-2)}}{2(1)}

Explanation:

The Quadratic Formula is

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a},

where a, b and c are the coefficients of a quadratic equation written in standard form, or 0=ax²+bx+c.

This means that first, we need to make our equation equal 0.

We have

-2 = -x + x² - 4

To make this equal 0, we must cancel the -2.  We do this by adding 2:

-2+2 = -x + x² - 4 + 2

0 = -x + x² - 2

Now we write this in standard form.  This means the x² term must come first, then the x term, then the constant:

0 = x²-x-2

This makes a = 1, b = -1 and c = -2.  We then plug this into the quadratic formula.
