Actually, the answer is not A, if you're saying A is the first choice above. That's incorrect. You will need to use the Geometric mean for right triangles here to figure out what the value of a is. We will use this form:

. We have a value for YZ of 3; side a is XZ. That means in order to solve this we need WZ, which we can find using pythagorean's theorem. 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 and 9 + 16 = c^2 and c = 5. Now we fill in accordingly:

. Cross-multiply to get 3XZ=25 and side XZ is

. XZ is 25/3 and YZ is 3, so 25/3 - 3 = XY. That means that XY (side a) = 16/3 or 5 1/3, choice B, or the second one down.
Answer:
a the assumption is that after the 60% discount, the 20% will contribute to the old price, not the adjusted price
b this is incorrect because the 20% discount will be added on after the 60% discount has been used
c the 500 dollars would turn to 100 dollars
d 40
e it would be best to first apply the 60% coupon first over the 20% coupon
Answer:
2x²+5x-6 = 0
using the quadratic formula
x = 0.886 and x= -3.386
Answer:
A) b= 8 students
B) 1) 19/55 2) 28/55
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sorry if I'm getting this whole concept wrong cause it felt way too easy to be right so I'm sorry if you get it wrong.
The reason the first question is 8 is because of the fact that you first have to add the students charted on the Venn-diagram and subtract that from 55, getting you to 8 students.
For the second one, the first part would be 19/55 becuase in the Venn-diagram it is shown that only 19 people passed both and so that be the numerator and the denominator would be the total of students, so it would be 55.
Same thing for part two except the fact that you have to add the students who only passed one subject, so combine 17 and 11, getting you to 28, thus getting the answer 28/55.
