Step-by-step explanation:
The goal to solving any equation is to have x = {something}. That means we need to get the x out from underneath that radical. It's a square root, so we can "undo" it by squaring. Square both sides because this is an equation. Squaring both sides gives you
Get everything on one side of the equals sign and set the quadratic equal to 0:
Throw this into the quadratic formula to get that the solutions are x = 5 and -8. We need to see if only one works, both work, or neither work in the original equation.
Does ?
and
and 5 = 5. So 5 works. Let's try -8 now:
and
so
-8 = 8? No it doesn't. So only 5 works. Your choice is the third one down.
A company is selling books. It has to pay $500 to start printing the books, and once they have done that, the books sell at $14.99 each. How many books must they sell to make a profit?
First we would model an equation. X will be the amount of books sold, and Y will be profits (in dollars obv). They had to pay $500 before they could start selling, so we must account for that too.
This equation would be
because for every book sold, X increases by 1, increasing Y by 14.99
The answer would be 34 books sold in order to turn a profit. (500/14.99=
