Answer:

The value of x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Solution of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

It is given that,

x² -12x + 36 = 0

To find the solution of given equation

Here a = 1, b = -12 and c = 36

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

= [--12 ± √((-12)² - 4*1*36)]/2*1

= [12 ± √(144 - 144)]/2

= 12/2 = 6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: x² - 12x + 36 = 0

Quadratic formula: ax² + bx + c = 0 --> x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac))/2a

Substitute: x = (12 ± √(12² - 4 * 36))/2

Multiply: x = (12 ± √(144 - 144))/2

Subtract: x = (12 ± 0)/2

Solve: x = 6

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Hence, a carpenter can paint a maximum of 7 chairs.

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A carpenter has less than 120 min. to spend painting furniture each day.

Today, he has spent 30.5 min. painting a desk.

Now he will paint x chairs, each of which takes 12.5 min.

i.e. he will take a total of 12.5x minutes in painting 'x' chairs.

Also total time spent on painting furniture each day will be equal to time spent on painting a desk and all of the chairs.

Hence,

30.5+12.5x<120 (since the total time he spends on painting is less than 120 mins.)

⇒ 12.5 x<120-30.5

⇒ 12.5 x<89.5

⇒ x<7.16 ( on dividing both side of the inequality with 12.5)

Hence, a carpenter can paint a maximum of 7 chairs.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

212,400 items were sold in 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Items sold this month = 70,800

Percent Increase in every month = 20%

We need to find number of items sold in coming 10 months.

Solution:

First we will find number of items increase in each month.

number of items increase in each month can be calculated by Percent Increase in every month multiplied by Items sold this month and the divided by 100.

number of items increase in each month = $\frac{20}{100} \times 70800 = 14,160$

Now we will find number of item sold in 10 months.

number of item sold in 10 months is equal to sum of Items sold this month and number of items increase in each month multiplied by 10.

framing in equation form we get;

number of item sold in 10 months = $70800+10\times 14160 = 212,400$

Hence 212,400 items were sold in 10 months.
