Two ways:
1) guess factors(trial and error)
2) use quadratic formula.
If you use this method then a = -3, b = -6 and c = -1
x = -b +/- [sqrt(b^2 -4ac)/2a]
substituting a, b, and c into our equation we get:
x = - (-6)+/- [sqrt ((-6)^2) - 4(-3)(-1))/2 (-3)]
x = + 6 +/- [sqrt (36 -4 (3)/-6)] if I didnt make a mistake in my signs
x = + 6 +/- [sqrt (36 -12)/-6)]
x = 6 +/- [sqrt (24)/-6] but sqrt 6 x sqrt of 4 = sqrt 24 hence
x = 6 +/- [ sqrt 6 x sqrt 4 /-6] that is:
x = 6 +/- [sqrt 6 x 2 /-6 ]
so x = 6 + [sqrt 6 x 2/-6] and x = 6 - [sqrt 6 x 2/-6]
Answer:
$156.86
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate tip, you need to multiply the total bill by the percent tip you are going to leave. In this case the bill is $136.40, and the customer is going to leave a 15% tip. So, you would want to move the decimal place over to the left by 1, which you should get 13.64 as your number. Then divide it in half, which should give you 6.82. Now add 13.64 and 6.82 with the original bill price. If you don't add the 13.64 you would've forgotten the 10% part of the tip. At the end you should get $156.86 as your final bill.
Answer:
25 chords
Step-by-step explanation:
First, set up the ratio 40:8.
Now, make a proportion.
=
This proportion will give you x=25, so your answer is 25.
Hope this helps! Have a great day! :)
Answer:
1. When he sold 20 slices of pizza at $1.25 each, he made $20
When he sold 50 slices of pizza at $1.25 each, he made $62.5
2. 96 slices of pizza. You would get that by dividing 120 by 1.25, as he needs to make $120, and each slice costs $1.25
