1.50x + 450 = 3x
450 = 3x - 1.50x
450 = 1.50x
450/1.50 = x
300 = x
300 copies must be sold to break even
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's examine the following general product of two binomials with variables x and y in different terms:
so we want the following to happen:
Notice as well that 
means that those two products must differ in just one unit so, one of them has to be negative, or three of them negative. Given that the product 
, then we can consider the case in which one of this (b or d) is the negative factor. So let's then assume that 
are positive.
We can then try combinations for such as:
Just by selecting the first one 
we get that 
and since
This quadratic equation give as one of its solutions the integer: d = -2, and consequently,
Now we have a good combination of parameters to render the factoring form of the original trinomial:
which makes our factorization:
.059, you move the decimal point two times to the left and the other way around when you want to convert into a percent
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- AB = 192 cm
- AC : CB = 1 : 3
- CD = BC/12
- The distance between midpoints of AD and CB = x
<u>Find the length of AC and CB:</u>
- AC + CB = AB
- AC + 3AC = 192
- 4AC = 192
- AC = 192/4
- AC = 48 cm
<u>Find CB:</u>
<u>Find the length of CD:</u>
- CD = BC/12 = 144/12 = 12 cm
<u>Find the length of AD:</u>
- AD = AC - CD = 48 - 12 = 36 cm
<u>Find the midpoint of AD:</u>
<u>Find the midpoint of CB:</u>
- m(CB) = AC + 1/2CB = 48 + 144/2 = 48 + 82 = 130 cm
<u>Find the distance between the midpoints:</u>
