18.7 rounded to the nearest whole number is 19.

It would be 19 since the .7 is over .5 you would round up.

John took all his money from his savings account. He spent $110 on a radio and 4/11 of what was left on presents for his friend

svp [43]

Answer:

$1210

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be total amount

First John spent $110 on a radio and 4/11 of what was left on presents for his friends so he was left with

$\frac{7}{11}(x-110)=\frac{7}{11}x-70$

Then he put 2/5 of his remaining money into a checking account

$\frac{3}{5}\left(\frac{7}{11}x-70\right)$

Rest he donated to charity

$420=\frac{3}{5}\left(\frac{7}{11}x-70\right)\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{7}{11}x-70\right)=\frac{2100}{3}\\\Rightarrow \frac{7}{11}x-70=700\\\Rightarrow \frac{7}{11}x=770\\\Rightarrow x=1210$

Hence total amount of money John originally had was $1210

Show work please<br> \sqrt(x+12)-\sqrt(2x+1)=1

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given $\displaystyle\\\sqrt{x+12}-\sqrt{2x+1}=1$ , start by squaring both sides to work towards isolating $x$ :

$\displaystyle\\\left(\sqrt{x+12}-\sqrt{2x+1}\right)^2=\left(1\right)^2$

Recall $(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$ and $\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{b}=\sqrt{a\cdot b}$ :

$\displaystyle\\\left(\sqrt{x+12}-\sqrt{2x+1}\right)^2=\left(1\right)^2\\\implies x+12-2\sqrt{(x+12)(2x+1)}+2x+1=1$

Isolate the radical:

$\displaystyle\\x+12-2\sqrt{(x+12)(2x+1)}+2x+1=1\\\implies -2\sqrt{(x+12)(2x+1)}=-3x-12\\\implies \sqrt{(x+12)(2x+1)}=\frac{-3x-12}{-2}$

Square both sides:

$\displaystyle\\(x+12)(2x+1)=\left(\frac{-3x-12}{-2}\right)^2$

Expand using FOIL and $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ :

$\displaystyle\\2x^2+25x+12=\frac{9}{4}x^2+18x+36$

Move everything to one side to get a quadratic:

$\displaystyle-\frac{1}{4}x^2+7x-24=0$

Solving using the quadratic formula:

A quadratic in $ax^2+bx+c$ has real solutions $\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ . In $\displaystyle-\frac{1}{4}x^2+7x-24$ , assign values:

$\displaystyle \\a=-\frac{1}{4}\\b=7\\c=-24$

Solving yields:

$\displaystyle\\x=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{7^2-4\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)\left(-24\right)}}{2\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)}\\\\x=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{25}}{-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\begin{cases}x=\frac{-7+5}{-0.5}=\frac{-2}{-0.5}=\boxed{4}\\x=\frac{-7-5}{-0.5}=\frac{-12}{-0.5}=24 \:(\text{Extraneous})\end{cases}$
