Answer:
x=10 x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
(x − 3)(x − 5) = 35
FOIL
x^2 -5x-3x+15 = 35
Combine like terms
x^2 -8x+15 = 35
Subtract 35 from each side
x^2 -8x+15-35 = 35-35
x^2 -8x-20 =0
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to -20 and add to -8
-10*2 = -20
-10 +2 = -8
(x-10)(x+2) =0
Using the zero product property
x-10 =0 x+2 = 0
x=10 x=-2
Pythagoras' theorem:
b^2 = c^2 - a^2
Substitute in the values:
b^2 = 13^2 - 12^2
b^2 = 25
Square root it
b = 5km
The answer is option B. 5km
Answer:
$400 
OR 
Step-by-step explanation:
$400 stays the same, 72 cents is 72/100. Simplify and voila
If something is 60% off, that means it is now going to be 40% of its original price because
100 - 60 = 40
To find final price multiply the percentage as a decimal by the price.
40% is 40/100 which as a decimal is 0.4
0.4 x 100 = $40
The pants will be 40 dollars.
