Express the following as a pecentage:16 out of 40

Solve for x 14 x square+7x-6

irina [24]

Answer:

x=0.450765 or x=−0.950765

Step-by-step explanation:

14x² + 7x - 6

→ Find the product, sum and factors

Product = -6

Sum = 7

Factors = No factors

→ Since there are no factors utilise the quadratic formula

$\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

→ List the values of a, b and c

a = 14

b = 7

c= -6

→ Substitute into the formula

$\frac{-7+-\sqrt{7^{2}-4*14*-6} }{2*14}$

→ Simplify

x=0.450765 or x=−0.950765

1. When there are two events that need to happen, we must multiply the probability of each event happening.

Shawn losing to Mike: 5/8 chance
Shawn losing to Tim: 2/7 chance

5/8 × 2/7 = 10/56 = 5/28

There's a 5/28 chance of Shawn losing to Mike and Tim.

I don't know #2, sorry :/

Masteriza [31]

Giovanni purchased 20 adult tickets and 5 child's tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x = Adult tickets

y = Child's tickets

According to given statement;

x+y=25 Eqn 1

One adult ticket costs $14 and one child ticket costs $8, therefore,

14x+8y=320 Eqn 2

$Multiplying\ Eqn\ 1\ by\ 8\\8(x+y=25)\\8x+8y=200\ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 3\ from\ Eqn\ 2\\(14x+8y)-(8x+8y)=320-200\\14x+8y-8x-8y=120\\6x=120\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{120}{6}\\x=20$

Putting value of x in Eqn 1;

$20+y=25\\y=25-20\\y=5$

Giovanni purchased 20 adult tickets and 5 child's tickets.
