Answer:
Allison = $0.27
Brianna = $1.89
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cookies that the three girls have are:
Allison's cookies + Brianna's Cookies
= 9+15
=24
There is a total of 24 cookies which has to be divided between the 3.
So
Each girl gets 24/3 = 8 cookies.
Since Celeste had no cookies she will have to pay for the 8 cookies.
Allison had 9, she will give one to Celeste
Brianna had 15 out of which she will use 8 for her self and 7 will be given to Celeste.
Celeste is paying 2.16 for 8 cookies.
Price of one cookie = 2.16/8
=$0.27
So, amount that will be given to Allison = 0.27 * 1 = $0.27
Amount that will be given to Brianna = 0.27 * 7 = $1.89
Hi i wanted to help you but i hate math do i am soooooooo sorry
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin the solution by squaring both sides of the given equation. We get:
(3x - 4)^2 = 2x^2 - 2x + 2, or:
9x^2 - 24x + 16 = 2x ^2 - 2x + 2
Combining like terms results in:
7x^2 - 22x + 14 = 0
and the coefficients are a = 7, b = -22, c = 14, so that the discriminant of the quadratic formula, b^2 - 4ac becomes (-22)^2 - 4(7)(14) = 92
According to the quadratic formula, the solutions are
-b ± √discriminant -(-22) ± √92 22 ± √92
x = ------------------------------- = ----------------------- = ------------------------
2a 14 14
