Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 6x - 40 = 0.....get the -40 to the other side

x^2 - 6x = 40....now take half of ur x term (6)....so its 3...then square it (3^2 = 9)...now add 9 to both sides

x^2 - 6x + 9 = 40 + 9

(x - 3)(x - 3) = 49

(x - 3)^2 = 49...take sqrt of both sides, eliminating the ^2

x - 3 = sqrt 49

x = 3 (+ - ) 7

x = 3 + 7 = 10 or x = 3 - 7 = -4

so x = 10 or x = -4

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:
The entry journal to record the sale will include a debit to accounts receivable for $7776

Explanation:
The original price of merchandise = $7200
The tax is 8%
This means that when recording, kay sadia has to record the total of the original price in addition to the tax.
This means that:
Total record = original price + subject tax
Total record = 7200 + 0.08(7200)
Total record = 7200 + 576
Total record = $7776
