Answer:
Marci answered 40 out of 50
Marci answered 2 more questions correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
Donovan got 38 out of 50
Marci got 80% which means 40 out of 50
40-38 = 2
it's 0.4 while it may look like 4% it's actually 40% of 1
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Square both sides of the equation
(x - 3)(x - 5) = 0
x = 3 or 5
Now, you must always check your results because a result may not satisfy the original equation.
If x = 3, then 
and 3 - x = 3 - 3 = 0
So 3 satisfies the original.
If x = 5, then 
, but 3 - x = 3 - 5 = -2. Therefore, 5 does NOT satisfy the original equation.
That means that x = 3 is the solution to the equation.
You have to remember P.E.M.D.A.S. when doing problems like this.
Drew used PEMDAS so we know he isn't wrong. However, Sam didn't use PEMDAS. She multiplied 2&5 instead of raising 5 to the second.
The correct answer for Sams' problem would be 30.
Hope this helps! :)
