2x^2 + 4x + 1 = 0

2x^2 + 4x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

2x^2 + 4x = -1

X(2x + 4) = -1

X = -1.

2x + 4 = -1
2x + 4 - 4 = -1 - 4
2x = -5
2x/2 = -5/2
X = -5/2.

I believe these are the solutions. If not you can use the quadratic formula to solve for the roots, solutions.

Ieda and Thanh both offer piano lessons. Ieda charges an initial fee of $8.50 and an hourly rate of $11.00. Thanh charges an ini
Trava [24]
The price for each instructor will be the same at 3 hours. How I determined this answer:

First off, you need to add the initial price and hourly price for each person together, so you already know how much it will cost for 1 hour, including the initial fee. Here's how you do it:

Ieda: $11.00 (hourly price) + $8.50 (initial fee) = $19.50 (for 1 hour)

Thanh: $10.50 (hourly price) + $10.00 (initial fee) = $20.50 (for 1 hour)

Now that you have the price for 1 hour including the initial fee, now you need to find the price for each hour after that. Here's how I did that:

I created a graph that looked like this:

Hours:       1                 2                  3               
Ieda:      19.50          30.50         41.50
Thanh:   20.50          31.00         41.50

Here's how I figured out the price for each hour:

Ieda:

Hour 1 (including initial price):
            $11.00 + $8.50 = $19.50
Hour 2 (excluding initial price): Only add the hourly price after Hour 1!
            $19.50 + $11.00 = $30.50 
Hour 3 (excluding initial price):
            $30.50 + $11.00 = $41.50

Thanh:

Hour 1 (including initial price):
            $10.50 + $10.00 = $20.50
Hour 2 (excluding initial price):
            $20.50 + $10.50 = $31.00
Hour 3 (excluding initial price):
            $31.00 + $10.50 = $41.50

So, looking at the graph, their prices are the same once each instruction reaches 3 hours. ($41.50)

I hope I was able to help you! :)

In the storage room of a certain bakery, the ratio of sugar to flour is 5 to 8, and the ratio of flour to baking soda is 10 to 1
olasank [31]

Answer:

1,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of Sugar to Flour: 5:8 -> 25:40

Ratio of Flour to Baking Soda: 10:1 -> 40:4

Sugar to Flour to Soda: 25x:40x:4x

\frac{40x}{(4x+60)} = \frac{8}{1} -> x = 60

Sugar = 25x = 1,500

Hope this helps :)
