Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144

FOIL

8(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 1144

Divide each side by 8

8/8(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 1144/8

(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 143

Combine like terms

n^2 +6n+8 = 143

Subtract 143 from each side

n^2 +6n+8 -143= 0

Combine like terms

n^2 +6n -135 =0

Factor

What two terms multiply to -135 and add to 6

-9*15 =-135

-9+15 = 6

(n-9) (n+15) =0

Using the zero product property

n-9 =0    n+15=0

n = 9   n=-15

The length cannot be negative so n = -15 cannot be  a solution

n =9

Answer:

n = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144

(n + 2)(n + 4) = 143

n² + 2n + 4n + 8 = 143

n² + 6n - 135 = 0

n² + 15n - 9n - 135 = 0

n(n + 15) - 9(n + 15) = 0

(n - 9)(n + 15) = 0

n = 9, -15

since n is a length, it can not be negative

Therefore the only solution is n = 9

ammie pays $30 for a bag that she buys at a discount of 50%. What is the price of the bag without the discount? A. $30 B. $45 C.
Liula [17]

This would be C. 60$

This is because if she got the bag for 50% off, 30 divided by 2 is 15$, 45 divided by 2 is 22.5, 60 divided by 2 is 30$ so option C. Would be your answer.

]. six pears and three apples cost $3.90. two pears and five apples cost $3.30. how much does one pear cost
Ilya [14]
Write the equation of the cost
p stands for the cost per pear, a stands for the cost per apple
6p + 3a = 3.9
2p + 5a = 3.3

Solve the equation system
To solve the equation system, we work on eliminating variable p so we will find the number of a. To eliminate, we have to change the coefficient of p to the same number (i will change it to coefficient 6)
6p + 3a = 3.9 (multiply 1)
2p + 5a = 3.3 (multiply 3)
---------------------------------
6p + 3a = 3.9
6p + 15a = 9.9
-------------------- - (substract)
      -12a = -6
           a = -6/-12
           a = 0.5

To find the cost per pear, subtitute the number of a to one of the equation
2p + 5a = 3.3
2p + 5(0.5) = 3.3
2p + 2.5 = 3.3
2p = 3.3 - 2.5
2p = 0.8
p = 0.4

The cost of one pear is $0.4
