154.35 - 10.37 = 143.98
143.98 - 27.83 = 116.15
10.37 = 116.15x
x = 0.0893

Change x to percent form to get 8.93% tax rate.

If 4x^2 - 100 = 0 then the roots of the equation are

iVinArrow [24]

4x² - 100 = 0
<u>     + 100 + 100</u>
   <u> 4x²</u> = <u>100</u>
      4 4
   x² = 25
      x = <u>+</u>5
4(5)² - 100 = 0
4(25) - 100 = 0
100 - 100 = 0
   0 = 0

4(-5)² - 100 = 0
4(25) - 100 = 0
   100 - 100 = 0
      0 = 0

The roots of the equation is positive or negative 5.
