Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = 42
x+y = - 2 Substitute into the top equation
y = -2 - x Put in for y
x(-2 - x) = 42 Remove the brackets
-2x - x^2 = 42 Subtract 42 from both sides.
-2x - x^2 - 42 = 0 Put in the more normal order.
-x^2 - 2x - 42 = 0 Multiply by -1
x^2 + 2x + 42 = 0
This cannot be factored. It gives complex roots as it is written. I will give you the answer but I kind of doubt the question is correct.
x1 = - 1 + 6.40i
x2 = -1 - 6.40i
Leave a comment if you have a correction.
B because if you take it it would be b
Answer:
$45.15
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are dealing with questions with percents in them—like this one—you have to turn the percent into a decimal. To make 7.5% into a decimal, you move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left. So, 7.5% is also 0.075.
Now, we have to use this formula for these types of questions:
x + x(y)= the price with tax (or markup)
So, we can substitute the variables.
42+42(0.075)=the retail price
42(0.075)=3.15
42+3.15=45.15
So, the retail price will be $45.15
