Answer: 672 cars will have defective engine mounds
Step-by-step explanation: 25% of 2,688 is 672
The sum of two numbers
5.036.
first number: one number has 4 in the tenths place, 7 in the thousandths
place.
=> x.4x7
2nd number: 1 in ones place and 2 in the hundredths place.
=> 1.x2x
Now, we have the 2 numbers with given clues:
=> x.4x7 + 1.x2x, where x is the missing number.
Note that in adding numbers, we start from the right most.
=>x.4x7 + 1.x2x = 5.036
=> x.4x7 + 1.x29
=> x.407 + 1.x29
=> x.407 + 1.629
=> 3.407 + 1.629
=> 5.036
X + y = 5
xy = 12
x + y = 5
y = -x + 5
xy = 12
x(-x + 5) = 12
x(-x) + x(5) = 12
-x² + 5x = 12
- 12 - 12
-x² + 5x - 12 = 0
x² - 5x + 12 = 0
x = 5 ± √25 - 48
2
x = -5 ± √-23
2
x = -5 ± 4.79i
2
x = -5 + 4.79i or x = -5 - 4.79i
2 2
x = -2.5 + 2.395i or x = -2.5 - 2.395i
y = -2.5 - 2.395i or y = -2.5 + 2.395i
The two numbers that add up to 5 and multiply to 12 is -2.5 ± 2.395i, which is -2.5 + 2.395i and -2.5 - 2.395i.
An inequality for the poroblem is 2000 - 637 and to turn that into algebraic expression it would be 2000 - 637 = 1363
