Do 5.05 minus 2.50 and your would get 2.55 then you would divide that by 3 and you would get 85 cents per bag of chips

You have to subtract $2.50 and $5.05 then you divide that with 3 and you should get $0.85

1.) Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth .x squared minus 21 x equals n

Andrew [12]

Part 1
We are given $x^2-21x=-4x$ . This can be rewritten as $x^2-18x=0$ .
Therefore, a=1, b=-18, c=0.
Using the quadratic formula
$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-\left(-18\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-18\right)^2-4\left(1\right)\left(0\right)}}{2\left(1\right)}$
$x=\frac{18\pm 18}{2}$

The values of x are
$x_1=\frac{18-18}{2}=0$
$x_2=\frac{18+18}{2}=18$

Part 2
Since the values of y change drastically for every equal interval of x, the function cannot be linear. Therefore, the kind of function that best suits the given pairs is a quadratic function.

Part 3.
The first equation is $y=x^2+2$ .
The second equation is $y=3x+20$ .

We have
$x^2+2=3x+20$
$x^2-3x-18=0$
Factoring, we have
$\left(x-6\right)\left(x+3\right)=0$
Equating both factors to zero.
$x_1-6=0\rightarrow x_1=6$
$x_2+3=0\rightarrow x_2=-3$

When the value of x is 6, the value of y is
$y=3\left(6\right)+20=38$

When the value of x is -3, the value of y is
$y=3\left(-3\right)+20=11$

Therefore, the solutions are (6,38) or (-3,11)

A jacket costs 50$ at the store Evan has a coupon for 15$ off.Max pays only 0.6 of the price because his father works at the sto

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the jacket at the store is $50.

Evan has a coupon for 15$ off. This means that the amount that Evans will pay is the original price - 15% of the original price. It becomes

50 - (15/100 × 50) = 50 - 7.5 = $42.5

Max pays only 0.6 of the price because his father works at the store.

This means that the amount that Max will pay is 0.6 × the original price. It becomes

0.6 × 50 = $30

Max will pay the least amount because his amount is smaller

Here's a tip Subtracting a fraction is the same as multiplying it's reciprocal so for 3/4 - 3/8 you can do 3/4 x 8/3. Multiplying its reciprocal mean turn the 2nd fraction around
