Solve the equation for y (y-3)^2=4y-12

1 answer:

8 0

(y -3)^2 = 4y - 12

Expand.

(y-3)(y -3) = 4y - 12

y² - 6y + 9 = 4y - 12

y² - 6y -4y + 9 + 12 = 0

y² - 10y + 21 = 0

Factors are -7y and - 3y

y² - 10y + 21 = 0

y² - 3y - 7y + 21 = 0

y(y - 3) -7(y - 3) = 0

(y - 3)(y - 7) = 0

y-3 = 0 or y - 7 = 0

y = 0 + 3 or y = 0 + 7

y = 3 or 7

Tiffany buys a basket of watermelons on sale for \$9$9dollar sign, 9 before tax. The sales tax is 9\%9%9, percent.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

To increase a certain amount by a given percentage, we can first calculate the increasing amount and then add it to the original amount.

If the price of the basket of watermelons was $9 before tax, and the sales tax is 9%, we first calculate the tax amount to pay:

$9 * 9 / 100 = $0.81

Now we add it to $9 to get the total price paid by Tiffany:

Total price = $9 + $0.81 = $9.81

Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons

3x+6-2 = 6x-(7/2*9/0)

kvv77 [185]

$3x+6-2 = 6x-( \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{9}{0} ) \\ \\ 3x + 4 = 6x - \frac{63}{0} \\ \\ 3x + 4 = 6x - 0 \\ \\ 4 + 0 = 6x - 3x \\ \\ 3x = 4 \\ \\ x = \frac{4}{3} .$
