180 divided by 3, then multiplied by 4 ($240)
Valentin [98]3 years ago
3 0
So
100%=original
25% discount
100-25=75
it is 180 sale
75%=180
find 100%

a hack is to recognize that 75/3 times 4=100 so
75%=180
divide 3
25%=60
times 4
100%=240


the real way is proportions
75:180 =100:x
75/180=100/x
multiply both sides by 180x
75x=18000
divide 75
x=240



origitnal price=$240

What multiplies to -1 and adds to 2
jok3333 [9.3K]
    xy = -1
x + y = 2

  x + y = -2
- x         - x
        y = -x - 2

                           xy = -1
                  x(-x + 2) = -1
              x(-x) + x(2) = -1
                   -x² + 2x = -1
                         + 1   + 1
-x² + 2x + 1 = 0
-1(x²) - 1(-2x) - 1(-1) = 0
           -1(x² - 2x - 1) = 0
                     -1           -1
                x² - 2x - 1 = 0
x = -(-2) ± √((-2)² - 4(1)(-1))
                      2(1)
x = 2 ± √(4 - 4(-1))
                2
x = 2 ± √(4 + 4)
              2
x = 2 ± √(8)
           2
x = 2 ± 2√(2)
           2
x = 1 ± √(2)

               x + y = 2
  (1 ± √(2)) + y = 2
- (1 ± √(2))       - (1 ± √(2))
                     y = 1 ± √(2)
               (x, y) = (1 ± √(2), 1 ± √(2))

The numbers that multiply to -1 and add to 2 are 1 ± √(2).

Given the similar triangles, find the value of X.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar we can find x using similarity ratio

14/8 = (x+6)/(x-3) simplify first expression

7/4 = (x+6)/(x-3) cross multiply expressions

7×(x-3) = 4×(x+6)

7x-21 = 4x + 24 add like terms

3x = 45

x = 15
