<h3>Answer:</h3>

  ±12   (two answers)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Suppose one root is <em>a</em>. Then the other root will be -3<em>a</em>. The product of the two roots is the ratio of the constant coefficient to the leading coefficient:

  (<em>a</em>)(-3<em>a</em>) = -27/4

  <em>a</em>² = -27/(4·(-3)) = 9/4

  <em>a</em> = ±√(9/4) = ±3/2

Then the other root is

  -3<em>a</em> = -3(±3/2) = ±9/2 . . . . . . the roots will have opposite signs

We know the opposite of the sum of these roots will be the ratio of the linear term coefficient to the leading coefficient: b/4, so ...

  -(a + (-3a)) = b/4

  2a = b/4

  b = 8a = 8·(±3/2)

  b = ±12

_____

<em>Check</em>

For b = 12, the equation factors as ...

  4x² +12x -27 = (2x -3)(2x +9) = 0

  It has roots -9/2 and +3/2, the ratio of which is -3.

For b = -12, the equation factors as ...

  4x² -12x -27 = (2x +3)(2x -9) = 0

  It has roots 9/2 and -3/2, the ratio of which is -3.

2. The ratio of
denpristay [2]

Answer:

<h2>3500</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the  ratio of  the profit, cost of  materials and labour  in the production of

an article to be 5:7:13 respectively, total ratio = 5+7+13 = 25

If the cost of labour is x, the cost of material will be 840+x (since the  cost of materials is Le  840 more than that of  labour)  .

Let the total cost of producing the article be y.

Cost of labour = 13/25 * y = x

Cost of labour  = 13y/25 = x.................... 1

Cost of material = 7/25*y = 840+x

Cost of material = 7y/25 = 840+x ..................... 2

From 1, 13y = 25x

x = 13y/25 ................... 3

Substituting equation 3 into 2:

7y/25 = 840+x

7y/25 = 840+13y/25

collect the like terms:

7y/25 - 13y/25 = 840

-6y/25 = 840

-6y = 25*840

y = 25*840/6

y = 3,500

<em>Hence the total cost of producing the article is 3500</em>

Kathleen makes bracelets to sell in a booth at a local store. She spent $62.30 on supplies to make bracelets for the next month.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

$105.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost of materials = $62.30

Cost of booth = $25 / month

Price per bracelet = $5.50

Profit of 35 bracelet is sold next month =?

Profit = Revenue - Expenses

Revenue = $5.50 * 35 = $192.50

Expenses = $25 + $62.30 = $87.30

Profit = $192.50 - $87.30

= $105.20
