10.99 x .25 is $2.7475. In dollars, you would round to the nearest hundredth so 2.75 is what the discount is. The discounted price is 10.99 - 2.75 which is $8.24
Step-by-step explanation:
It seems here that they are asking us to solve for x
to do this we first need to factor
Since we can't factor this using the normal method we can instead do this
x^2 -4x-17=0
add 4 to both sides as it is a perfect square
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 17 +4
(x-2)^2 = sqrt 21
x-2 = ± 4.58
x -2 = 4.58 x-2 = -4.58
x= 6.58 x=-2.58
Or just say x=2+√21 or x=2−√21
I would say D, determine if it can be factored by grouping (sorry, I forgot to put in the answer here).
