Answer:
t² + t - 3 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
C = t - 5
B = t² - 2
2C + 2B
= 2(t - 5) + 2(t² + 2)
= 2t - 10 + 2t² + 4
= 2t² + 2t - 6
=> t² + t - 3 = 0

Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Say we start from the beginning with $40. If the pants are discounted but we don't know the percent discount, then we need a variable, x:
40 - x% * 40 = 30
The total is 40. When we take a discount off of 40, we are taking a percent of 40 and subtracting that from 40. From the problem, this should be 30. Thus, the equation above.
Add x%*40 to both sides and subtract 30 from both sides:
x%*40 = 10
Divide by 40:
x% = 1/4 = 0.25
Multiply each side by 100:
x = 25
The answer is 25%.
Answer:
x + 4y = 4
4y = 4 - x
multiply both sides by 1/4
y = 1/4( 4- x)
y = 1- 1/4x
9/16 + 1/4
9+4/16
13/16
