192 people were survey

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • 85% of the people survey thought the price of the car wash was reasonable
  • 164 people thought the cost of the car wash was reasonable

We need to find how many people were survey

Assume that x people were survey

∵ There were x people survey

∵ 85% of them thought the price of the car wash was reasonable

∴ The number of the people who thought the price of the car wash

   was reasonable = 85% × x

∵ 85% = \frac{85}{100} = 0.85

∴ The number of the people who thought the price of the car wash

   was reasonable = 0.85 x

∵ 164 people thought the cost of the car wash was reasonable

- Equate 0.85 x and 164

∴ 0.85 x = 164

- Divide both sides by 0.85

∴ x = 192.94

∵ x represents a number of people, then it must be integer

∴ The number of people were survey = 192

192 people were survey

Find the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x2 + 63.5x - 17
Luden [163]

The larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

<h3>How to find the roots of a quadratic equation?</h3>

Suppose that the given quadratic equation is

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Then its roots are given as:

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

The given quadratic equation is

y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17

now, the roots of the equation are

x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{63.5^2 - 4(-2.2)(-17)}}{2(-2.2)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{4032.25 - 149.6}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{3882.65}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm 62.31}{(-4.4)}

The two roots are 0.27 and 28.59.

Thus, the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

Solve the following equation by using the addition principle. Check the solution.
omeli [17]

Answer:

y = 11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

-4/5 + y = -1/4

Add 4/5 to each side

-4/5  +4/5 + y = -1/4+4/5

y = -1/4 + 4/5

Get a common denominator

y = -1/4 *5/5   + 4/5 *4/4

y = -5/20 + 16/20

y = 11/20

Check

-4/5 +11/20 = -1/4

Get a common denominator

-4/5*4/4 + 11/20 = -1/4*5/5

-16/20 +11/20 = -5/20

-5/20 = - 5/20
