Let x = your number.

6x = x^2 - 27. Subtract 6x from each side.

0 = x^2 - 6x - 27. Factor

0 = (x-9) (x+3). Set each term equal to zero

(x+3) = 0. Subtract 3 from each side.

x = -3. This is the negative solution.

(x-9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.

x = 9. This is the positive solution.

cuanto pagaríamos por un libro cuyo precio es de $25 si le aplicamos un descuento del 25% cuanto dinero ahorramos

kotegsom [21]

Tenemos precio de lista de $25 para el libro.

Si aplicamos un descuento del 25%, este descuento representa:

$D=(\frac{25}{100})\cdot25=0.25\cdot25=6.25$

Ahorramos $6.25.

El precio que pagamos el libro es $18.75.

$P=L-D=25-6.25=18.75$

A plant manufactures part whose lengths are normally distributed with a mean of 16.3 centimeters and a standard deviation of 2.5

EastWind [94]

The probability that the plant manufactures a part between 10.8 and 12.8 centimeters 13%

<h3>How to find the probability that the part is between 10.8 and 12.8 centimeters</h3>

The probability is solved z scores, this measures the amount of standard deviation sample X is from mean. the formula is below

z = (X - μ) / σ

<u>Definition of variables</u>

mean, μ = 16.3 centimeters

standard deviation, σ = 2.5 centimeters

X = 10.8 and 12.8 centimeters

z score, z

substituting into the formula

for X = 12.8 centimeters

= (X - μ) / σ

= (12.8 - 16.3) / 2.5

= -1.4

the p value for z of -1.4 = 0.161513

for X = 10.8 centimeters

= (X - μ) / σ

= (10.8 - 16.3) / 2.5

= -2.2

the p value for z of -2.2 = 0.027807

the probability is calculated as below

0.161513 - 0.027807= 0.133706

= 0.13

=13%

A giraffe can travel 800 feet in 20 seconds. Write a direct variation equation for the distance traveled any time | Please expla

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The direct variation equation is:
d=kt
where d is the distance that the giraffe travels
k is the constant of variation
and t is time
Now we are told that the giraffe can travel 800 ft in 20 seconds, so we can solve for the constant of variation (k)
800=k(20) divide both sides by 20
k=40-------------and the units are ft per sec
So now we can write
d=40t
ck
d=40t
800ft=40*20 ft
800 ft= 800 ft

Hope this helps!
