Answer:

The tax rate is 4.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to assume $2.79 is 100%. We know that x% equals 0.12 of the output value. Now we have two simple equations: 100%=2.79 and x%=0.12.

Then, 100%/x%=2.27/0.12 and that gives us 4.3%!

Hope this helps.

Solve each quadratic equation by completing the square. 6. x2 + 2x = 8 7. x2 - 6x = 16 8. x2 - 18x = 19 9. x2 + 3x = 3 10. x2 +

Lets get started :)

These questions have asked us to solve by completing the square.
How do we? I have attached a picture, which will explain

6. x² + 2x = 8
→ b is the coefficient of x, which is 2
→ We take half of 2 and square it. Then, we add it to either side

x² + 2x $+ (\frac{2}{2} )^2 = 8 + ( \frac{2}{2})^2$
x² + 2x + 1 = 8 + 1
( x + 1 )( x + 1 ) = 9
( x + 1 )² = 9
$\sqrt{( x + 1 )^2} = \sqrt{9}$
x + 1 = + 3 or x + 1 = - 3
x = 2 or x = - 4

7. x² - 6x = 16

→ We do the same thing we did in the previous question

x² - 6x + $(\frac{6}{2})^2 = 16 + (\frac{6}{2})^2$
x² - 6x + 9 = 16 + 9
(x - 3)² = 25
$\sqrt{(x-3)^2} = \sqrt{25}$
x - 3 = + 5 or x - 3 = - 5
x = 8 or x = - 2

8. x² - 18x = 19

x² - 18x + $( \frac{18}{2} )^2 = 19 + ( \frac{18}{2})^2$
x² - 18x + 81 = 19 + 81
( x - 9 )( x - 9 ) = 100
( x - 9 )² = 100
$\sqrt{(x-9)^2} = \sqrt{100}$
x - 9 = + 10 or x - 9 = -10
x = 19 or x = - 1

9. x² + 3x = 3

x² + 3x + $( \frac{3}{2} )^2 = 3 + (\frac{3}{2} )$
$x^2 + 3x + \frac{9}{4} = 3 + \frac{9}{4}$
$x^{2} + 3x + \frac{9}{4} = \frac{21}{4}$
$(x^2 + \frac{3}{2} ) ( x^2 + \frac{3}{2} ) = \frac{21}{4}$
$( x^2 + \frac{3}{2} )^2 = \frac{21}{4}$
$\sqrt{ x^2 + \frac{3}{2} } = \sqrt{ \frac{21}{4} }$
x + $\frac{3}{2}$ = + $\frac{ \sqrt{21} }{2}$ or x + $\frac{3}{2} = - \frac{ \sqrt{21} }{2}$
x = $\frac{-3+ \sqrt{21} }{2}$ or x = $\frac{-3 - \sqrt{21}}{2}$

Is |4x+2|+6=0 no solution, all real numbers, 0, and 2

algol [13]

<u>|4x + 2| + 6 = 0</u>

Subtract 6 from each side: |4x + 2| = -6

But the absolute value of a number is always positive.
No value of 'x' can ever make |4x + 2| negative.

So the equation has <em>no solution</em>.

Two professors in the mathematics building have offices that are consecutive odd numbers with a sum of 15,044. what are the offi

AlladinOne [14]

Let one of the number be x
The other number will be x + 2

x + x + 2 = 15044
2x + 2 = 15044
2x = 15044 -2
2x = 15042
x = 7521
x + 2 = 7521 + 2 = 7523

The office number is 7521 and 7523

What is the difference between an irrational number and an integer?? please explain!

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation: Irrational numbers are non-terminating, recurring decimal numbers i.e, a decimal expansion that neither terminates nor becomes periodic which cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction. ... Integer is a complete entity that includes every natural number along with its negatives and zero.
