Given:
The product of a particular number is 65.
Second value is given by the sum of 8 and the original number.
To find:
The unknown number.
Solution:
Let x be the unknown number.
Then, second number = x+8
The product of a particular number is 65.
Splitting the middle term, we get
Using zero product property, we get
and 
and 
So, the unknown number is either 5 or -13.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The driveway has the shape of a cuboid. The formula for determining the volume if a cuboid is expressed as
Volume = L × W × H
Where
H represents the thickness of the gravel to be added to the driveway.
W represents the width of the driveway.
L represents the length of the driveway.
From the information given,
L = 15 yards
W = 3 yards
H = 6 inches.
36 inches = 1 yard
6 inches = 6/36 = 0.167 yard
Therefore, the volume of gravel required would be
V = 15 × 3 × 0.167 = 7.515 cubic yards
A]
Amount of earning per hour=$8.59
Amount of David's benefits=18/100×8.59=:1.5462
Amount that David earn per hour including benefits is given by:
8.59+1.5462=$10.1362
b]Amount that David earns in 35 hour a week will be:
(amount per hour)*(number of hours)
=8.59*35
=$$300.65
C] amount earned by David including benefits will be:
(amount earned in 35 hours)+(total benefits in 35 hours)
total benefits=1.5462×35=$54.117
thus total amount will be:
300.65+54.117
=$354.767
Answer:
Pies=$0.85
Donuts= $1.20
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation let p stand for the number of pies and d stand for the number of donuts.
To solve this set up 2 equations, one representing bill and the other representing Mary Ann.
- Bill's equation is 5p+7d=$12.65.
- Mary Ann's equation is 6p+6d=$12.30
Then solve using a system of equations. Systems of equations can be solved using elimination or substitution. I will use substitution. Solve bill's equation for p. This gives you 
. Then, you can substitute that into Mary Ann's equation. This looks like 
. Solve for d. Once you solve d=1.20. Finally, substitute 1.20 back into either Bill's or Mary Ann's for d and solve for p. No matter which equation you use p=0.85.
