Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of desktop computer; then x - 250 = cost of laptop computer

converting % to decimals, 9% = 0.09 and 6% = 0.06

Then, 0.09x + (x - 250)0.06 = $300

0.09x + 0.06x - 15 = $300

0.15x = $315

x = $2100

then x - 250 = $1850

Proof: $2100•0.09 + 1850•0.06 = $189 + $111 = $300

1. You need to multiply the denominator by something that will make the content of the radical be a square—so that when you take the square root, you get something rational. Easiest and best is to multiply by √6. Of course, you must multiply the numerator by the same thing. Then simplify.

\displaystyle\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}}\\\\=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}\cdot\sqrt{6}}=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{6}\\\\=\bf{\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}}

2. Identify the squares under the radical and remove them.

5\sqrt{12xm^3}=5\sqrt{(4m^2)(3xm)}=5\sqrt{(2m)^2}\sqrt{3xm}\\\\=5\cdot 2m\sqrt{3xm}=\bf{10m\sqrt{3xm}}

you can find this because if you divide the 9 by 6 as they are matching sides you get 1.5, take that number and multiply it by the 46 and get the 69! hope that helps :D
