105/23727.90=100/x
105x=23727.90x100
105x=2372790
(105x)/105=2372790/105
x=22598

dealers cost is $22,598

the 105% is the 100% price of the car plus the 5% of that tax or whatever it is

10. The sum of two numbers is 6 less than twice the first number. Their difference is 10 less than four times the second number.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

10 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number.

Let y be the second number.

x + y = 2x - 6

x - y = 4y - 10

x = 4y - 10 + y

x = 5y - 10

(5y - 10) + y = 2(5y - 10) - 6

6y - 10 = 10y - 20 - 6

6y - 10 = 10y - 26

6y - 10y = -26 + 10

-4y = -16

y = 4

x - (4) = 4(4) - 10

x - 4 = 16 - 10

x - 4 = 6

x = 6 + 4

x = 10

The difference between two positive integers is 7 and the sum of their squares is 949. What are the numbers?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

25 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the first number is x and the second one is y.

First, the difference between them is 7, so x-y=7

Next, the sum of their squares is 949, so x²+y² = 949

We have

x-y=7

x²+y²=949

One thing we can do to solve this problem is to solve for x in the first equation, plug that into the second equation, and go from there

Adding y to both sides in the first equation, we have

x = 7 + y

Plugging that into the second equation for x, we have

(7+y)²+ y² = 949

expand

(7+y)(7+y) + y² = 949

49 + y² + 7y + 7y + y² = 949

combine like terms

2y² +14y + 49 = 949

subtract 949 from both sides to put this in the form of a quadratic equation

2y² + 14y - 900 = 0

divide both sides by 2

y² + 7y - 450 = 0

To factor this, we want to find 2 numbers that add up to 7 and multiply to -450.

The factors of 450 are as follows:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30, 45, 50, 75, 90, 150, 225, and 450.

Note that we want to find two numbers with a difference of 7, as one will have to be negative for the multiplication to end up at -450. Two numbers that stand out are 18 and 25. To make them add up to 7, 18 can be negative. We therefore have

y² + 25y - 18y - 450 = 0

y(y+25) - 18(y+25) = 0

(y-18)(y+25) = 0

Solving for 0,

y-18 = 0

add 18 to both sides

y=18

y+25 = 0

subtract 25 from both sides

y= -25

As the question states "two positive integers", this means that y must be positive, so y = 18. We know x-y=7, so

x-18 = 7

add 18 to both sides to isolate x

x = 25
