Because this is a second degree equation you will have 2 solutions.  When you take the square root of a number you have to account for both the positive and negative roots.  Since the square root of 289 is 17 then your solutions are +17 and -17.

A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies. The total cost of the apples is $5.10. Granny Smith apples cost
Natasha2012 [34]

The baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of gala apples bought

Let "y" be the number of granny smith apples bought

Cost of 1 gala apple = $ 0.30

Cost of 1 granny smith apple = $ 0.25

<em><u>A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies</u></em>

Therefore,

number of gala apples bought + number of granny smith apples bought = 19

x + y = 19 --------- eqn 1

<em><u>The total cost of the apples is $5.10</u></em>

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

number of gala apples bought x Cost of 1 gala apple + number of granny smith apples bought x Cost of 1 granny smith apple = 5.10

x \times 0.30 + y \times 0.25 = 5.10

0.3x + 0.25y = 5.1 -------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

From eqn 1,

x = 19 - y ---------- eqn 3

<em><u>Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2</u></em>

0.3(19 - y) + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.3y + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.05y = 5.1

0.05y = 5.7 - 5.1

0.05y = 0.6

y = 12

<em><u>Substitute y = 12 in eqn 3</u></em>

x = 19 - 12

x = 7

Thus the baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

Sandra is making the shape of a rhombus. The first three angles are 75°, 75°, and 105°. What is the measure of the fourth angle?
mrs_skeptik [129]
Its 105° because the rhombus is essentially a square or rectangle of sorts and at least 2 sides have to be alike
