Answer: The value of b is $0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bottles co0llected = 14+9 =23

Payment for each bottle = b

Total payment she will get = 23b

One -time service fee = $0.25

She has left = $3.20

According to the question,

23b - 0.25 = 3.20

⇒23b = 3.20+0.25

⇒23b = 3.45

⇒b = 0.15   [divide both sides by 23]

Cost of each bottle = $ 0.15

hence, the value of b is $0.15.

Solve the following quadratic equation for all values of x in simplest form. (x-4)^2=33​
Brrunno [24]

\huge\text{$x=\boxed{\sqrt{33}+4,\ -\sqrt{33}+4}$}

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Take the square root of both sides, making sure to use both positive and negative roots.

\begin{aligned}(x-4)^2&=33\\x-4&=\pm\sqrt{33}\end{aligned}

\sqrt{33} cannot be simplified, so we'll leave it as-is.

Add 4 to both sides to fully isolate x.

x=\pm\sqrt{33}+4

Expand the solution by making two solutions, one where \sqrt{33} is positive and one where it's negative.

x=\sqrt{33}+4,\ x=-\sqrt{33}+4\\x=\boxed{\sqrt{33}+4,\ -\sqrt{33}+4}

20 is 60% of what number
Oxana [17]
33.33? im not sure, but you do a/b=p/100. p is the percent, a is the part of the whole number, b. so the equation would be 20/b=60/100. then you do cross multiplication (60b=2000) then you divide.

What is 9.1 less than a number is less than 4.6 equals?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

n > 13.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing a symbolic statement, we get:

n - 9.1 < 4.6

Multiplying all three terms by 10 removes fractions:

10n - 91 > 46

Adding 91 to both sides isolates the 10n term:

10n > 46 + 91, or   10n > 137

Then n > 137/10, or n > 13.7
