DIA [1.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2/3 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x:

3 x^2 + x - 2 = 0

Divide both sides by 3:

x^2 + x/3 - 2/3 = 0

Add 2/3 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 = 2/3

Add 1/36 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 + 1/36 = 25/36

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 1/6)^2 = 25/36

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 1/6 = 5/6 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

x = 2/3 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

Answer:  x = 2/3 or x = -1

Annie needs $30 to buy a coat she has saved $12 and plans to work as a baby siter to earn $6 per hour which inequality shows the
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The answer would be B. 12 + 6n is greater than or equal to 30, so n is less than or equal to 3.

explanation:

I'm bad with explaining things, but I'll try my best to explain why this is the right answer.

12 + 6n ≥ 30, so n ≤ 3

let's start with the 12 at the beginning of the inequality, Annie already has $12, so the 12 in the inequality shows the amount of money she already has being added to the $6 per hour of babysitting she needs to do (n).

Now for the + 6n, the plus is there to show that the $12 Annie already has is being added to the 6n. The 6n then represents the $6 Annie makes each hour and the n represents how many hours she needs to babysit in order to get $30. The 6 is being multiplied by the amount of hours she needs to babysit to show how much money Annie would make. Then you add on the $12 she already has.

Annie then needs at least $30, but if she makes more than $30 then she will simply have more money than needed, therefore you use the greater than or equal to sign to show that she can have more money than just $30 after working.

I hope this helps, and sorry if my explanation is hard to understand lol.

Tpy6a [65]
To get the previous population you would have to multiply 9,300 by 38% (.38) and then add it to 9,300, or you can also multiply it by 138% (1.38) and still get the same answer but this step is only a one step the first is a two step process
