Answer:
x=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number
3x = x^2 -54
Subtract 3x
3x-3x = x^2 -3x-54
0 = x^2 -3x-54
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to -54 and add to -3
-9*6 = -54
-9+6 = -3
0=(x-9) (x+6)
Using the zero product property
x-9=0 x+6=0
x=9 x=-6
The questions asks for the negative solution
x=-6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the base of the vase will be where the vase touches the x-axis, that is 10 cm, therefore, the base is 10 cm from the wall
:
b) 25 = x^2 -20x +100, we solve for x to find the closest distance since as we move up the vase the distance to the wall gets closer(assume the y-axis is the wall), then
x^2 -20x +75 = 0 (x-15) * (x-5) = 0
x = 15 and x = 5
we reject x = 15
the shortest distance from the top of the vase to the wall is 5 cm
:
c) this is a left shift of the equation y = (x-10)^2
from b) we know that the left shift is 5 cm
10 - 5 = 5 cm from the wall to the base
:
d) y = (x-10+5)^2
y = (x-5)^2
Answer:
40 + ( -63) is less
Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of a laptop that is 65% of the sales price is R3 1076923.07692
<h3>How to find the original price when given the percentage?</h3>
The sale price of a laptop is R3 700,00,which is only 65% of the original price.
Therefore,
let
x = original price
Hence,
700, 000 = 65% of x
700,000 = 65 / 100 of x
cross multiply
70000000 = 65x
divide both sides by 65
x = 70000000 / 65
x = 1076923.07692
Therefore, the original price of the laptop is R3 1076923.07692
