Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the smallest number is 'x', then the other number = x +1
x*(x+1)= 420
Use distributive property
x*x + x*1 = 420
x² + x - 420 =0 ------> this is the required quadratic equation.
X is minus 2
y is equal to 1
Answer:
The sum of the money shared is $1372
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is
Albert:Michael:Moses=3:5:6
The total ratio is 3+5+6=14
Let the sum of money shared be $x.
Then Albert's share = 3/14 x
= 3
/ 14
Michal's Share = 5x/14
If Michael received $196 more than Albert, then the difference between their share is the $196.
"To solve this problem, the formula can be used
I = P / T
Where I is the fraction of the sample
P is the amount of the sample
T is the total amount of sample
Since P = 252 chicken sandwiches and I = 0.55
And solve for T
T = 252 / 0.52
T = 458 sandwiches in total"
hope this helps
