Answer:
0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use a calculator
X+y=155. Y= -x+155
1.50x +4(-x+155)= 520
1.50x-4x+620=520
-2.5x =-100
X= 40. Y=110
The interest rate is 4<span />
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
Answer:
h(x) = (x +1.5)^2 -20.25
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want to rearrange h(x)= x^2 +3x -18.
Recognize the coefficient of x is 3. Add and subtract the square of half that. (3/2)^2 = 9/4 = 2.25
h(x) = (x^2 +3x +2.25) -18 -2.25
Now, write the expression in parentheses as a square, simplify the constant.
h(x) = (x +1.5)^2 -20.25 . . . . . . . . vertex form
