Here is the solution of the given problem above.
First, let's analyze the question.
Given: 1 bag = 9/10 pound
2/3 bag = ? pound
What we are going to do is to divide 9/10 pound to 3.
so 9/10 divided by 3 and we get 9/30 and to simplify that, 3/10.
So per 1/3 of the bag, there is 3/10 pound.
To get the weight for 2/3 of the bag, we multiply 3/10 by 2 and we get 6/10 or to simplify it, it is 3/5. Therefore, the 2/3 bag weights 3/5 pound. Hope this answer helps.
Notice that half of the coefficient of x is (1/2)(-4), or -2.
Then x^2 - 4x becomes
x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 = 0, or (x -2)^2 = 4. Then x = -2 plus or minus 2, and the two roots are 0 and -4.
Thus, add 4 to both sides to obtain x^2 - 4x + 4 = 4.
Answer:
<em>The estimated sales were $260 million</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the endpoints of a segment are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
The midpoint (xm,ym) is calculated as follows:
The sales ov Cars, Inc. were (2008,240 million) and (2010,280 million). We need to use the midpoint to estimate the sales in 2009:
The estimated sales were $260 million
