Answer: DP = P - ( P x 0,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Discount: 12% = 0,12 (in decimal form)

Price: P

Discount price: DP

So, to obtain the discount price we have to subtract to the original price (P)

The 12 percent discount ( 0,12 x P ).

Mathematically speaking:

DP = P - ( P x 0,12)

Melissa is planning a rectangular vegetable garden with a square patch for tomatoes

astra-53 [7]

The expressions for the length and the width of the rectangular garden are 3x + 2 feet, and x + 5 feet respectively where x is the length of the square patch for tomatoes.

A square is a quadrilateral with all four sides equal, and all four angles at 90°, whereas a rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite pair of sides equal, and all four angles at 90°.

In the question, we are informed that Melissa is planning a rectangular vegetable garden with a square patch for tomatoes.

The side of the square is given to be x feet.

We are asked to write expressions for the length and width of the rectangular garden.

For the length of the rectangle:-

We are informed that she wants the length of the garden to exceed three times the length of the tomato patch by 2 feet.

Thus, the length of the garden can be shown as the expression 3x + 2 feet.

For the width of the rectangle:-

We are informed that she also wants the garden's width to exceed the width of the tomato patch by 5 feet.

Thus, the width of the garden can be shown as the expression x + 5 feet.

Thus, the expressions for the length and the width of the rectangular garden are 3x + 2 feet, and x + 5 feet respectively where x is the length of the square patch for tomatoes.

Sail with the equation by completing the square x^2+8x=-3

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The solutions are $x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2} +8x=-3$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$x^{2} +8x+16=-3+16$

$x^{2} +8x+16=13$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+4)^{2}=13$

square root both sides

$x+4=(+/-)\sqrt{13}$

$x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}$

starting at home, nadia traveled uphill to the grocery store for 30 minutes at just 4 mph. she then traveled back home along the

ankoles [38]

Distance from home to store = 4 * 0.5 = 2 miles.
Time taken to return home = (2/12) * 60 =10 minutes.
Total distance traveled = 2 * 2 = 4 miles.
Total time taken = 30 + 10 = 40 minutes.
Average speed for entire trip = total distance / total time in hours.
$Average\ speed=\frac{4}{\frac{40}{60}}=\frac{4\times60}{60}=6\ mph$
