Answer: The answer is 8.
Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;
Y^2 - 40.
Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,
Y^2 - 40 = 3Y
If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,
Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0
(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)
We now have a quadratic equation
Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0
By factorizing we now have
(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0
Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or
Y + 5 = 0
Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5
Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8

When x>0, x^2-5x-12=12, x=8, y=12
Therefore, f(x)=12 goes through point (8,12).</span>
The answer is C: No the percentage of students that prefer sports is higher than the percentage of those that prefer movies! Hope this helps.
Answer:
B 10% off sale, with a total price to pay of 756
Step-by-step explanation:
Retail price (Rp) = $800
Taxes (T) = 5%
- Offer A $75 instant rebate
Total price A (TA) = Rp - 75 + (Rp - 75) 5%
TA = 800 - 75 + (800-75) 5%
TA = 725 + 725 5%
725 5% = 725*5/100 = 36.25
TA= 725+36.25 = $761.25
Total price B (TB) = RP - RP 10% + (RP - RP 10%) 5%
TB = 800 - 800 10% + (800 - 800 10%) 5%
800 10% = 800*10/100 = 80
TB = 800 - 80 + (800 - 80) 5%
TB = 720 + 720 5%
720 5% = 720*5/100 = 36
TB = 720 + 36 = $756
- Offer C 5% off sale plus store pays sales tax
store pays sales tax means Walden's family will not need pay for taxes
Total price C (TC) = RP - RP 5%
TC = 800 - 800 5%
800 5% = 800*5/100 = 40
TC = 800 - 40 = $760
- Offer D a “no tax” sale—the store pays the tax
Means that Walden's family will need pay just the retail price
TD = $800
The beast deal is from the store B
