Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'x' = number
x³ - x² = 2x
x³- x² - 2x = 0
x(x² - x - 2) = 0
x(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0
x = -1, 0, 2
the only positive solution is the number 2
Answer:
60 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Sarah's age = a
Assume Sarah is older than 44 ; then a > 44
64 = 4 times difference between a and 44
Expressing the problem mathematically ;
64 = 4 * (a - 44)
64 = 4a - 176
64 + 176 = 4a
240 = 4a
a = 240 / 4
a = 60
Hence, Sarah is aged 60
36 donuts (2 1/2 dozen) = $8.00
So, you divide 8 by 36 and you get about 22¢ for each donut. Then, you do .22 x 12 which equals $2.64.
One dozen donuts = $2.64
