Answer: 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information Given
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Entree = $4.75
Addition items = $1.25 each

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define x
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the number of addition item be x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct equation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.75 = 4.75 + 1.25x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find x
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.75 = 4.75 + 1.25x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subtract 4.75 from both sides
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 = 1.25x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 1.25 on both sides
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 = x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The customer ordered  4 additional items

Hello!

ANSWER:

4 additional items were ordered.

EXPLANATION:

First, subtract the cost of the entree:

9.75 - 4.75 = 5

This means that the customer spent $5.00 on on additional items.
Each additional item costs $1.25. Divide:

5 ÷ 1.25 = 4

What is the directrix of the parabola defined by 1/4(y 3)=(x-2)^2?
attashe74 [19]
For
(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)
vertex=(h,k)
p=vertical distance from vertex to directix
when p is negative, the directix is above the vertex
when p is positive, the directix is below the vertex

(x-2)^2=1/4(y+3)
(x-2)^2=4(1/16)(y+3)
p=1/16
it's positive so we know directix is below vertex
vertex is (2,-3)
go 1/16 down
-3-1/16=-48/16-1/16=-49/16
directix is y=-49/16 aka y=-3.0625

My math problem is 3n(squared) - 28 = -17n I have to factor this! So i would move the 17 over and make it 3n(squared) +17n - 28
wel
It's easier I think to take it and go "what can I add together than makes 17, yet multiplies to 28"
although, I don't think this is a perfect square, either

(x+7)(3x-4) = 0

heres the factored form, but I couldn't even begin to say how I got it, all I know is that it works
