Answer:

The smallest solution is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x^2=24

Multiply by 3/2 on each side

3/2 *2/3 x^2=24 *3/2

x^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(36)

x = ±6

x = -6, 6

The smallest solution is -6

A Shopkeeper

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The cost of bicycle is Rs1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of bicycle

Total profit gained by the shopkeeper by selling at labelled price = 20%

Suppose he sell the bicycles at at 5% discount

Which means that the total profit he learn after discount will be:

20% -5% = 15%

The shopkeeper earns a profit of 15% if he sells at discount.

Profit gained by shopkeeper is:

15% of x = 15/100 · x

15% of x = 0.15x

Thus the profit gained will be 0.15x. As profit gained is equal to 150, we can say that

0.15x = 150

x = 1000

The cost of bicycle is Rs1000

Jen’s goal is to run a total of 22 miles in five days. The table below shows her log for the number of miles she ran on Monday,

Ronch [10]

Answer: 5.875 miles run on Friday to reach her goal by Jen

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of distance covered on Monday by Jen is given by

$4\frac{3}{4}=\frac{19}{4}$

Part of distance covered on Tuesday by Jen is given by

$5\frac{1}{8}\\\\=\frac{41}{8}$

Part of distance covered on Wednesday by Jen is given by

Part of distance covered on Thursday by Jen is given by

$6\frac{1}{4}\\\\=\frac{25}{4}$

Total part of distance covered in these four days by Jen is given by

$\frac{19}{4}+\frac{41}{8}+0+\frac{25}{4}\\\\=\frac{38+41+0+50}{8}\\\\=\frac{129}{8}=16.125\ miles$

Remaining part of distance will be covered on Friday to reach her goal which is given by

$22-16.125=5.875\ miles$

Hence, 5.875 miles run on Friday to reach her goal by Jen.
