Answer:
n/2 - 3 = 10 represents this situation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be n. Then:
n/2 - 3 = 10 represents this situation.
Answer:
it means the power of
Step-by-step explanation:
like 2^2= 4
3^2= 9
Answer:
10 and 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' and 'y' are the numbers we need to find.
x + y = 25 (two numbers whose sum is 25)
(1/x) + (1/y) = 1/6 (the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6)
The solutions of the this system of equations are the numbers we need to find.
x = 25 - y
1/(25 - y) + 1/y = 1/6 multiply both sides by 6(25-y)y
6y + 6(25-y) = (25-y)y
6y + 150 - 6y = 25y - (y^2)
y^2 - 25y + 150 = 0 quadratic equation has 2 solutions
y1 = 15
y2 = 10
Thus we have
:
First solution: for y = 15, x = 25 - 15 = 10
Second solution: for y = 10, x = 25 - 10 = 15
The first and the second solution are in fact the same one solution we are looking for: the two numbers are 10 and 15 (since the combination 10 and 15 is the same as 15 and 10).
Ok, basically if you want to find when both equations are equal just make them equal to each other. 0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40.
From there use algebraic steps to find out what x is ( the break - even point ).
0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40
0.855625x - 4x + 20 = 1.265625x + 6x + 40
-0.41x - 4x + 20 = 6x + 40
-4.41x + 20 = 6x + 40
20 = 10.41x + 40
-20 = 10.41x
-1.92122958694 = x
Rounded to the nearest tenth it's -1.9 = x.
