Answer:

87.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

If he got 5 wrong out of 40, then he got 35 correct.

35

—— = 87.5%

40

So James got 87.5% of the questions correct (12.5% wrong).

At a movie theater, tickets for children cost $8 each and adult tickets cost $8.75 each. Of ticket sales for a group of 35 peopl
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The results don't make sense

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

"x" is the number of children's tickets

"y" is the number of adult tickets

Thus:

8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259

 x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y

replacing we have:

 8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259

280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259

 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280

0.75 * y = -21

y = -21 / 0.75

y = -28

Thus:

x = 35 - (-28) = 63

With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.

Rewrite this standard form quadratic equation into vertex form by completing the square. Upload your work here to show your thin
Alex787 [66]

Solution :

Given the equation :

$y = x^2 - 6x+3 $

$y=1(x^2 - 6x +n)+3$

$n = \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2$

$n = \left(\frac{6}{2}\right)^2$

n = 9

$y=1(x^2 - 6x +9-9)+3$

$y=1(x^2 - 6x +9)-9+3$

$y=1(x-3)^2- 6$

Therefore the vertex form of $y = x^2 - 6x+3 $  is  $y=1(x-3)^2- 6$.

How to factor x^3 - 4x^2 - 9x + 36 by grouping
const2013 [10]

Answer:

(x-4) (x-3) (x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 - 4x^2 - 9x + 36

Make 2 groups

x^3 - 4x^2            - 9x + 36

We can factor out x^2 from the first group and -9 from the second group

x^2 (x-4)    - 9(x-4)

Now factor out (x-4)

(x-4) (x^2 -9)

This may be an answer choice but we can still factor

(x^2 -9) is the difference of squares

(x^2-9) = (x-3) (x+3)

Replacing this

(x-4) (x-3) (x+3)
