I think the answer is x = -4.
Answer:
$1.30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the cost of the pencil
Let x + .80 = the cost of the pen
Let 4(x + .80) = the cost of the binder
x + x + .80 + 4(x + .80) = 11.80
2x + .80 + 4x + 3.20 = 11.80
6x + 4.00 = 11.80
6x = 7.80
x = $1.30
x + .80 = $2.10
4(x + .80) = $8.40
X + y = 2 —> y = 2 - x
insert to first equation
2-x=x^2-3x-6
x^2 - 3x - 6 - 2 + x = 0
x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0
(x-4)(x+2) = 0
x = 4 or x = -2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem:
The possible values of x in the equation (60)x = 1;
Solution:
Such a problem like this in which the highest power of the unknown is 1 will have just one solution.
60x = 1
To solve this, we take the multiplicative inverse of 60;
the multiplicative inverse of 60 =
Use this inverse to multiply both sides of the expression;
60x = 1 x
x =
To solve this, you just divide 20 divided by 7.
20/7 = <span>2.85714285714
If you are trying to round to the nearest tenth, the next decimal place (hundredths) is a 5, so you must round 2.8 up one more digit.
Your final answer is that</span> 20/7 = 2.9 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
