Answer:
-(-5) ± √13 5 ± √13
x = ----------------------- = ---------------
2(3) 6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a quadratic equation, with coefficients 3, -5 and 1.
The discriminant, b² - 4ac, turns out to be (-5)² - 4(3)(1), or 25 - 12 = 13
Thus, the roots are:
-(-5) ± √13 5 ± √13
x = ----------------------- = ---------------
2(3) 6
6x-24
you have to multiple the 6 by the number in the parentheses
Divide total miles driven by the total amount of gas used to find the number of miles per gallon.
Then multiply that by the number of gallons you want to find out:
268 miles / 12 gallons = 22.333 miles per gallon.
22.333 miles per gallon x 9 gallons = 201 total miles.
Answer :
x = 53.85
Step by step explanation:
If 78% of x (some numbers) is equal to 42, then we must set this as an equation to find it.
1) Rewriting 78% as a fraction and considering that when we say 78% of some number (x) we mean a product.
78% = 78/100 ➡️ 78/100x = 42
2) Then we can go on :
100 * 78/100x = 42 * 100
78x = 4200
78x/78 = 4200/78 ➡️ x = 53.85
3) Alternatively, simply dividing 42 by 0.78 (78%) would come to the same result :
42/0.78 = 53.85
