Answer:
Without taxes, the price will be $359.99
Step-by-step explanation:
You take the original price then divide it by ten. Then you multiply that number by 2 to get what 20% of 449.99 is. You then subtract that number from from 449.99. At least I think so. There are other ways to go faster but this is the easiest to understand.
Write them out as a fraction then reduce them. If theyre the same then its proportional.
25/45 can be cancelled down to 5/9
15/27 can be cancelled down to 3/9
So no theyre not.
Mary is incorrect. Perimeter is not proportional to area. An example which you can use is garden A is an 8 by 1 rectangle. The perimeter is 18 while the area is 8. Graden B is a 4 by 4 square. The perimeter is 16 (less than garden A) while the area is 16 (two times more than garden B).
How the quadratic formula works:
For any quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the solution is

.
In the case of our equation 7x² - x = 7, first we need to subtract 7 from each side so that we have 0 on the right.
7x² - x - 7 = 0
Identify the values of a, b, and c.
a = 7, b = -1, and c = -7.
Plug these into our quadratic formula and solve.

There are two values for x: (1+√197)/14 and (1-√197)/14.
The approximate values for these are 1.073976 and -0.931119.
