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

I don't understand number 8
Norma-Jean [14]
Let's try plugging in some negative numbers. Let's do x=-1. 5+-1=4. So we know that if we put in a negative number for x, then n will be positive. But what if we do a number greater than -5, because 5+-5=0. So let's try x=-6. So 5+(-6)=-1. Hmm. So here it is. We know that any number under -5 will be positive and any number above -5 will be negative.

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, that are longer than the length of the base, b. The perimeter of the t
Anna35 [415]
2a + b = 15.7 

length a is longer than b.
a = 6.3

2a + b = 15.7
(2*6.3) + b = 15.7
12.6 + b = 15.7
b = 15.7 - 12.6
b = 3.1

therefore the base length is 3.1 cm
