Answer:

x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x = 4 - sqrt(73)

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x:

(x - 12) (x + 4) = 9

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 - 8 x - 48 = 9

Add 48 to both sides:

x^2 - 8 x = 57

Add 16 to both sides:

x^2 - 8 x + 16 = 73

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 4)^2 = 73

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 4 = sqrt(73) or x - 4 = -sqrt(73)

Add 4 to both sides:

x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x - 4 = -sqrt(73)

Add 4 to both sides:

Answer:  x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x = 4 - sqrt(73)

The manager of a theater noted that for every 10 admission tickets sold, the theater sells 3 bags of popcorn at $2.25 each, 4 so
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

$1.475 is the average amount of snack sales per ticket sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of popcorn bags sold = 3

Cost of  a popcorn bag = $2.25

Total cost of popcorn bag = 2.25\times 3 = $6.75

Number of soda sold = 4

Cost of  a soda = $1.50

Total cost of soda = 1.50\times 4 = $6.00

Number of candy bars sold = 2

Cost of  a candy bar = $1.00

Total cost of candy bars =  1.00\times 2 = $2.00

Total sales =

Total cost of popcorn + Total cost of soda + Total cost of candy bar

= 6.75 + 6 + 2\\=\$14.75

\text{Average} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Average amount of snack sales per ticket sold =

\dfrac{\text{Total sales}}{\text{Number of tickets}} = \dfrac{14.75}{10} = 1.475

Thus, $1.475 is the average amount of snack sales per ticket sold.
