Your formula for this is

and

. Get everything on one side of the equals sign, set it equal to 0 and factor. When you do this you get (x-3)(x+27). The Zero Product Property rule tells us that either x-3 = 0 or x+27 = 0 and that x = 3 and -27. The only thing in math that will NEVER be negative besides time is distance/length, therefore, x cannot be 27 and has to be 3.

Answer:
4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
you'd do 4 divided by 2 which is 2, then you'd do 10 divided by 2 which is 5. so you get 4/5.
We first calculate Pablo's height .
4 = 100%
x = 1% (Where x is 1% of Sandra's height.)
cross multiplying the equation, we get:
100x = 4 → x = 4/100 → x = 0.04
If 1% = 0.04, then 10% will be 0.04 × 10 = 0.4
Pablo's height is 4 + 0.4 = 4.4 feet.
Now we repeat the above steps to get Michal's height from Pablo's height
4.4 = 100%
x = 1% so:
100x = 4.4 → x = 4.4/ 100 → x = 0.044
If 1% = 0.044, then 8% will be 0.044 × 8 = 0.35
Michael's height is 4.4 + 0.35 = 4.75 feet.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
This is how I am confirming the answer:
14/125 = 0.112
125(0.112) = 14
