Answer:

x=6 x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-4x-12 = 0

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -12 and add to -4

-6*2 = -12

-6+2 = -4

(x-6)(x+2) =0

Using the zero product property

(x-6) =0 x+2 = 0

x=6 x=-2

An album sells for $17.00 through an online music service. If the album is 20% off, and sales tax is 6%, what is the total price

V125BC [204]

Answer:

$14.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of Album - $17.00 * .20 = 3.4 (this is the discount)

Then subtract 3.40 from 17.00 to get 13.60

Add the sales tax in by doing $13.60 * 0.06 = $0.82

Add that to the 13.60 to get $14.42 for the total after discount and after tax.

The population of a small town is decreasing at a rate of 7% per year. If the town's population is 13,250 now, what will be the

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The approximate population of the small town after 10 years is 6,413

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we note that the general growth formula is given by;

$A = P(1+r)^{t}$

For decreasing rate, we have;

$A = P(1-r)^{t}$

Where:

A = Population after growth

P = Initial population = 13250

r = The annual reduction rate in decimals = 7 % = 7/100 = 0.07

t = Number of years of decrease= 10 years

Since the population is decreasing, then by plugging in our values into the above equation for decreasing rate, we have

$A = 13250(1-0.07)^{10}$

= 6.412.766 ≈ 6,413

The approximate population of the small town after 10 years = 6,413

Paulo works part time in a store every month. His monthly salary increases by the same amount every year. Three years ago, Paulo

Anna11 [10]

Answer: $\$3834$

Step-by-step explanation:

Three years ago Paulo's monthly salary was $\$2783$

Twelve years from now Paulo's salary will be $\$8038$

Suppose current salary is $\$ x$

and Yearly increment is $\$y$

So,

$\Rightarrow x-3y=2783\quad \ldots(i)$

and $\Rightarrow x+12y=8038\quad \ldots(ii)$

From (i) and (ii) we get

$\Rightarrow 15y=5255$

$\Rightarrow y=350.33$

and $x=2783+3\times 350.33$

$x=3834$

So, monthly salary this year is $\$3834$
