Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
If (X + 8) is a factor of f(x), then to find the root, equate the factor to zero. That is,
X + 8 = 0
X = 0 - 8
X = -8
If -8 is substituted into f(x), the equation will tend to zero. That is,
F( -8 ) = 0
C is therefore the correct answer.
Suppose that the farmer had bought the rice at x dollars per bag and had sold them at a 25% markup. How much did the bags cost him before he added the markup? 1.25x =$75 results in $75/1.25, or $60 per bag.
If he sold 25 bags, his profit would be 1.25($60/bag)(25 bags) = $1875.
I very seriously doubt that the rice was $7500 per bag. Perhaps you meant $75/bag...?
Answer:
548 and 213
Step-by-step explanation:
Use a linear function:
Let x = 1st number
Let y = 2nd number
x+y=761
x-y=335
2x=1096
x=548
plug x into either equation
548+y=761
y=761-548
y=213
548-y=335
-y=-213
y=213
