Answer:
x = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- x² - 8x - 16 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 to clear the leading negative )
x² + 8x + 16 = 0 ← this is a perfect square
(x + 4)² = 0 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x = - 4
Answer: $222.73
===========================================
Work Shown:
x = pre-GST price
10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount
x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245
1.10x = 245
x = 245/1.10
x = 222.7272 approximately
x = 222.73 is the price before tax.
------------
Check:
10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27
The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get
22.27+222.73 = 245
which matches the post-GST price mentioned.
The answer is confirmed.
Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this
1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245
Step-by-step explanation:
- you just substitute (-2) into the x values of the above function
Answer:
(1,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-3(x+4)=-13 y=1+4
2x-3x-12=-13 y=5
-x-12=-13
+12
-x=-1/-1
x=1
