First, subtract both sides by 8x and you would get:
1 - 11x = 3
Then, subtract both sides by 1 and you will get:
-11x = 2
Divide both sides by -11:
x = -2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
50/50 chance of choosing one or the other because there is only two options
Answer:
26 rows
Step-by-step explanation:
this is like a rectangle length×width situation.
seats per row = s
number of rows = r
s × r = 884
s = r + 8
so, we can use e.g. the second equation in the first :
(r + 8) × r = 884
r² + 8r = 884
r² + 8r - 884 = 0
the general solution to such a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
x = r
a = 1
b = 8
c = -884
r = (-8 ± sqrt(8² - 4×1×-884))/(2×1) =
= (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 3536))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(3600))/2 =
= (-8 ± 60)/2 = -4 ± 30
r1 = -4 + 30 = 26
r2 = -4 - 30 = -34
a negative number did not make any sense for the number of rows, so r = 26 is our answer.
22 is the answer to this math problem
Answer:
1.1 R5.83
1.2 R70.01
1.3 58.34%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that he buys a pack of 12 racing cars for R49,99 then the unit cost for a car which is the total cost divided by the number of cars in a pack
= R49,99/12
= R4.17
If each car is sold for R10 then the profit made on each car which is the difference between the cost and the selling price
= R10 - R4.17
= R5.83
The profit margin on one pack of 12 racing cars
Profit margin is the ratio of the profit to the total selling price
The total profit (profit on one pack of 12 racing cars)
= R5.83 * 12
=R70.01
Total selling price = R10 * 12
=R120
Margin = R70.01 / R120
= 58.34%
