For simple integer factors as this one has, you want to find two values for the quadratic in the form ax^2+bx+c. Let the two values be j and k. These two values must satisfy two conditions.
jk=ac=10 and j+k=b=11, so j and k must be 1 and 10.
Now replace bx with jx and kx...
2x^2+x+10x+5 now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms.
x(2x+1)+5(2x+1)
(x+5)(2x+1)
Answer:
$179.76
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the total cost as follows. The 1.00 represents the before-tax cost of the dehumidifier and the 0.0575 the 5.75% sales tax:
Total cost of dehumidifier = (1.00+0.0575)($169.99) = $179.76 (to the nearest
cent()
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8 ÷ 1/4
Division sign changes to multiplication and the reciprocal of the divisior is used to multiply instead :
5/8 * 4/1
= (5*4) / (8*1)
= 20 / 8
= 2.5
