x = 20 - -5 = 20 + 5 = 25
y = 16 - 1 = 15
<h2>
x = 25</h2><h2>
y = 15</h2>
Markup means they sell it for that percentage more than they bought it for. First let's calculate how much they will mark it up for:

Convert 87% into a decimal(87/100):

Multiply:

This is how much they'll mark it up, now let's add it to how much they bought it for to find out the selling price:
Answer:
15 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that the edge of the small square is x (inches).
As the edge of the larger square is 2 inches greater than that of the smaller one, so that the edge of the larger square = edge of the small square + 2 = x + 2 (inches)
The equation to calculate the are of a square is: <em>Area = Edge^2 </em>
So that:
+) The area of the larger square is: <em>Area large square = </em>
<em> (square inches)</em>
+) The area of the smaller square is: <em>Area small square = </em>
<em>(square inches)</em>
<em />
As difference in area of both squares are 64 square inches, so that we have:
<em>Area large square - Area small square = 64 (square inches)</em>
<em>=> </em>
<em />
<em>=> </em>
<em />
<em>=> 4x + 4 = 64</em>
<em>=> 4x = 64 - 4 = 60 </em>
<em>=> x = 60/4 = 15 (inches)</em>
So the length of an edge of the smaller square is 15 inches
Answer:
5, -9
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 5)(x + 9) = 0 These are factors, to get the roots, just set each one equal to zero
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
x + 9 = 0
x = -9
