2400 because it is only 93 away from 2493 and 2353 is more than 93 away
30% of $1.50 is 0.45 and if it's on sale you subtract from original price
so 1.50 - 0.45
and your answer would be $1.05
<span>So rather than think about how to find the whole numbers, let's try to find the two perfect squares nearest to 38. There is one greater than it and one smaller than it. The square root will lie between the squared value of each. (e.g. 64 is the perfect square, 8 is the squared value i refer to)
</span><span>
6 ,7. 6squared is 36 and 7 squared is 42
therefore 38 lies between these two numbers</span>
<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:
1) Group the x terms together on the left: ax - bx - c = d
2) Group the constant terms together: ax - bx = c + d
3) factor out x: x(a - b) = c + d
4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
c+d
</span> x(a - b) = c + d => x = ---------
a-b
This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction: a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).
Where is Victoria's solution? Please share it if you want to discuss this problem further. Thank you.
