X^2 - 8x-9=0
D = b^2- 4*a*c = 64- 4* (-9) = 64+36=100 =10^2
X1 = (8-10)/2 = -1
X2= (8+10)/2= 9
Answer:
252 bags of maize
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize
In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize
In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4
This means
3:4 = 2013: 2012.
Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x
3/4 = x/ 144
Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144
x = 3 × 144/ 4
× = 108
This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013
The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144
= 252 bags of maize.
Answer:the percent change in the puppy's weight= 275%
Step-by-step explanation:
Jillian's puppy Weight at 2 months =16 pounds
Jillian's puppy Weight at 8 months =60 pounds
percent change in the puppy's weight= change in weight / Old weight x 100
(60 pounds -16pounds ) / 16 x 100
44/16 x 100 = 275%
16 bc one side is 5ft so the other must be 3 to have an area of 15. Then 5+5+3+3= 16ft
