A retailer planned to buy some computers from a total of sh 1800000. Before the retailer could buy the computers the price per u

nit was reduced by sh 4000. This reduction in price enabled the retailer to buy five more computers using the same amount of money as originally planned. Determine the number of computers the retailer bought.​

Answer:

50 computers

Step-by-step explanation:

After reduction, he bought x computers hence price per unit was 1800000/x

Before reduction, price per unit was 1800000/(x-5)

The difference in the price is 4000 hence

\frac {1800000}{x}-\frac {1800000}{x-5}=4000\\4x^{2}-20x+9000=0\\x^{2}-5x+2250=0\\(x+45)(x-50)=0\\x=50 or -45

Therefore, x=50

juan and debbie each earn 9 per hour at their "jobs." Debbie worked five hours more than juan during the week. if juan and debbi
Vaselesa [24]

Using a system of equations, it is found that Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable x: Amount of hours worked by Juan.
  • Variable y: Amount of hours worked by Debbie.

Juan and Debbie each earn 9 per hour at their "jobs", and earned a total of 765 for the week, hence:

9x + 9y = 765

Simplifying the expression by 9:

x + y = 85 -> x = 85 - y.

Debbie worked five hours more than juan during the week, hence:

y = x + 5.

Since x = 85 - y, we replace in the expression:

y = 85 - y + 5.

2y = 90.

y = 45.

Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.

Solve for x 14 x square+7x-6
irina [24]

Answer:

x=0.450765 or x=−0.950765

Step-by-step explanation:

14x² + 7x - 6

→ Find the product, sum and factors

Product = -6

Sum = 7

Factors = No factors

→ Since there are no factors utilise the quadratic formula

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

→ List the values of a, b and c

a = 14

b = 7

c= -6

→ Substitute into the formula

\frac{-7+-\sqrt{7^{2}-4*14*-6} }{2*14}

→ Simplify

x=0.450765 or x=−0.950765
