Answer:
x = 71/5 (as an improper fraction)
x = 14 1/5 (as a proper fraction
x = 14.2 (as a decimal)
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a rectangle so the diagonals are equal
7x - 9 = 2x + 62
Subtract 2x from both sides
5x - 9 = 62
Add 9 to both sides
5x = 71
Divide both sides by 5
x = 71/5 (as an improper fraction)
x = 14 1/5 (as a proper fraction
x = 14.2 (as a decimal)
Answer:
the price was reduced by 28%
For me personally, the easiest way to do this is by isolating the x² term, and finding the square root of both sides. The hardest way (well actually, the longest way) would be to use the quadratic formula. It just complicates things unnecessarily.
Y=2x
y is the amount of money made from the sold books
x is the number of books that are sold (it is x because you don't know how many will be sold, so you have to account for all possibilities)
2x is because every book is sold for 2 dollars, so that mean x is multiplied by 2 to get y
Answer:
Since we have a^7 on the Numerator and after simplification... No "a" was left in the expression. It simply means that all a's in the numerator was eliminated and 2a's were left in the denominator.
To eliminate a^7 and still have 2a's as a remainder in the denominator... 'n' must be equal to 9
So
n=9
