Answer:

Original salary = $500

Step-by-step explanation:

Tricia got a 6% raise on her weekly salary. The raise was $30 per week.

Let x be the original salary

x times the raise percentage = raise amount

6%= 6/100=0.06, raise amount = 30

$x*0.06= 30$

Now we solve for x

Divide by 0.06 on both sides

$x=500$

Original salary = $500

Solve 12^x^2+5x-4 = 12^2x+6

faust18 [17]

The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equation:

$12^{x^{2}+5 x-4}=12^{2 x+6}$

Since the base on both sides as ‘12’ are the same, we can write it as

$x^{2}+5 x-4=2 x+6$

$x^{2}+5 x-2 x-4-6=0$

$x^{2}+3 x-10=0$

Often, the value of x is easiest to solve by $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ by factoring a square factor, setting each factor to zero, and then isolating each factor. Whereas sometimes the equation is too awkward or doesn't matter at all, or you just don't feel like factoring.

<u>The Quadratic Formula:</u> For $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ , the values of x which are the solutions of the equation are given by:

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Where, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -10

$x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-10)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{9+40}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{49}}{2}=\frac{-3 \pm 7}{2}$

So, the solutions for ‘x’ are

$x=\frac{-3+7}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

$x=\frac{-3-7}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5$

The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5

Lucy plans to spend between $50 and $60, inclusive, on packages of beads and packages of charms. If she buys 5 packages of beads

worty [1.4K]

She can buy maximum of $5$ packages while staying within her budget.

Minimum spending limit $=$ $ $50$ .

Maximum spending limit $=$ $ $60$ .

Cost of one package of beads $=$ $ $4.95$ .

Number of packages of beads bought $= 5$ .

Cost of one package of charms $=$ $ $6.55$ .

Let the number of packages of beads bought be $x$ .

$4.956 \times 5 + x \times 6.55 \geq 50$

$24.78+6.55x\geq 50$

$6.55x\geq 25.22$

$x\geq 3.85$

$4.956 \times 5 + x \times 6.55 \leq 60$

$24.78+6.55x\leq 60$

$6.55x\leq 35.22$

$x\leq 5.38$

So, she can buy maximum of $5$ packages while staying within her budget.
