Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.
<h3>Setup</h3>
Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...
x(8/7)x = 896
(8/7)x² = 896
<h3>Solution</h3>
Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...
x² = (7/8)(896) = 784
x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root
The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.
Answer:
140 zombies
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a proportions problem and we are given three values and a variable we must solve for which is the number of zombie soldiers she can raise (z) with 10 dark power crystals. Therefore, we can use the rule of three to solve for this, in which we multiply the diagonal values and divide by the last remaining value in order to solve for the variable like so...
1 crystal <===> 14 zombies
10 crystals <===> Z zombies
(10 * 14) / 1 = 140 zombies
Answer:
Students should be able to find the x-intercepts of a quadratic function using both factoring and completing the square. All that should be given to students is the standard form of a quadratic equation in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c.
