\text{Hello there! :)}

x = 8\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

\text{Since Point M is the midpoint of AB, then:}\\\\AM = MB\\\\

\text{Set the two equations equal to each other:}\\\\3x + 40 = x^{2} \\\\

\text{Move all terms over to one side to simplify more easily:}\\\\0 = x^{2} - 3x - 40

\text{Factor by finding numbers that sum up to -3 and multiply into -40:}\\\\0 = (x - 8)(x + 5)\\\\x = -5, 8

\text{The length of a segment cannot be negative, so choose the positive solution:}\\\\x = 8

\text{Substitute in this value of x into either AM or MB to solve for AB:}

AB = 2(MB)\\\\AB = 2(x^{2} )\\\\AB = 2(8^{2})\\ \\AB = 2(64)\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}

The price of a watch was increased by 20% to £162. <br> What was the price before the increase?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The answer is 135

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use formula: 162...120% since the price was increased by 20% which means it is 120%

So: 162...120%

x.... 100%

120x = 16200 => x = 135
