The error is in step 2. if you are performing an operation on one side of the equation, it must be performed on the entire expression. you can’t only divide by 2 on one term, you must do it to everything in the equation. instead, you could add 6 to both sides first, giving you 2x = -4. Then you can divide by 2 on both sides. the answer is -2.
Each must sell 35,678 dollars each year not counting commision to add 6 percent of that.
4.80 = 100%
x = 55%
Cross Multiply
100 * x = 55 * 4.80
100x = 264
x = <u>264</u>
100
x = 2.64
Solution: $2.64
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Positive x-intercept = + sqrt(3)
Negative x-intercept = - sqrt(3)
Discussion:
Generally, the x-intercept of a function g(x) occurs where g(x) = 0. In our case this is
g(x) = 0 =>
3x^2 - 9 = 0 => (add 9 to both sides of the equation)
3 x^2 = 9 => (divide both sides by 3)
x^2 = 9/3 = 3 =>
x = +\- sqrt (3)
Positive x-intercept = + sqrt(3)
Negative x-intercept = - sqrt(3)
Thank you,
