Answer: 9. x=-3/2 10. x=2
x= 5/2 x=5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
9. Factor the equation:
How: put 4x^2 in the bottom left box and -15 in the upper right box.
then multiply 4x^2 x -15 = -60x^2 and put your answer in the top center box of the diamond.
Put the -4x from the equation in the bottom box. Then list out factors that multiply to the top box (-60x^2) and add to the bottom box (-4x) The two factors are -10 and 6
-10 x 6 = -60
-10 + 6 = -4
Put -12x and -5x in the remaining white boxes and find what numbers multiply to each.
I attached a picture. The colored dots correspond with each other.
Eg: Orange dot x orange dot = number in white square
Now you get the two factors (2x+3)(2x-5)
Set both of these equal to 0 and solve
0=2x+3 0=2x-5
x= -3/2 x= 5/2
Do the same for the other problem
Answer:
After the discount, the customer will pay only 91.4% of the initial price.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the price of the current retailer, in dollars, is:
3.50
After the discount, the new price, in dollars, is:
3.20
We want to know what percentage of the original price is the final price.
To find out, we must divide the final price between the initial price and then multiply the result by 100%
So:
*100% = 0.914. * 100% = 91.4%
After the discount, the customer will pay only 91.4% of the initial price.
The discount percentage you are going to pay is 100% -91.4% = 8.6% of the initial price
