Answer:

your number is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = (x × 10 ) + 144

x^2 = 10x + 144

x^2 - 10x - 144 = 0

using quadratic method

your answer should be

(x- 18) ( x+8 )

A book sold 41,900 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 8.1% of copies sold to date. How many copies ha

babymother [125]

517284 books have been sold to date.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Copies sold in first month = 41900

This represents 8.1% of copies sold to date.

Let,

x be the number of copies that have been sold to date.

8.1% of x = 41900

$\frac{8.1}{100}*x=41900\\0.081x=41900\\$

Dividing both sides by 0.081

$\frac{0.081x}{0.081}=\frac{41900}{0.081}\\x=517283.95$

Rounding off to nearest whole number

x = 517284

517284 books have been sold to date.

Nora and Eli are making homemade spring rolls for a party. Nora can make 8 spring rolls in 10 minutes. Eli can make 10 spring ro

devlian [24]

Eli will finish first.

Use 8/10 and 10/12. This represents how many spring rolls over how many minutes. Make your equations like this: 8/10 = 40/x and 10/12 = 40/x. Find x, which will give you the minutes it takes them to make 40 rolls.

You get x = 50 for the first one and x = 48 for the second. Nora makes 40 rolls in 50 minutes, and Eli makes 40 rolls in 48 minutes. Eli is faster.

Hope this helped! Please mark me brainliest!

Answer: y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A square's area can be done by using s^2, where s is y in this case. Because there are 5 squares, the area of the figure is 5y^2. Because the area is also 180cm, 5y^2=180.

Then divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get y^2 = 36. Then square root both sides of the equation to get y = 6.

Hope it helps <3
