Mathematics
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]3 years ago

Answer: 50 Books

Step-by-step explanation:

B = number of books in Ruben's collection BEFORE he bought new ones.

So  6 books were bought which increased his collection by 12%.

12% as a decimal would be 0.12..then we add the variable which represents the number of books, 0.12B.

So then we know 0.12=6

*We need to isolate the variable* So we would divide 0.12 on both sides. 0.12/0.12 and 0.12/6 which is 50.

Hope this helps! :)

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$43.20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original purchase price, write a proportion and solve. A proportion is an equation where two ratios are set equal.

If the discount if 15% then you pay 85%.

\frac{36.72}{y}= \frac{85}{100}

To solve for y, cross multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction.

36.72(100) = 85y

3672= 85y

43.2 = y

Please help me
Inga [223]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

All real numbers are solution

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

8x−7<8x−3

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

8x−7−8x<8x−3−8x

−7<−3

Step 3: Add 7 to both sides.

−7+7<−3+7

0<4

hope this help:)

aleksley [76]
10 oranges = $1
5 oranges = $?

To get from 10 to 5 you divide by 2 so that’s what you do with the $1 so it would be $0.50

The polynomial of degree 4, P ( x ) has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 4 and roots of multiplicity 1 at x = 0 and x = − 1 . It
Svetlanka [38]

To have roots as described, that means we have the following factors: From multiplicity 2 at x=1 has (x-1)^2 as its factor From multiplicity 1 at x=0 has x as a factor From multiplicity 1 at x = -4 has a factor of x+4 Putting these together we get that P(x) = A (x) (x+4) (x-1)^2 Multiply these out and find P(x) = A (x^2 + 4x) (x^2 - 2x + 1) A ( x^4 - 2x^3 + x^2 + 4x^3 - 8x^2 + 4x ) Combine like terms and find P(x) = A (x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 4x) To find A, we use the point they gave us (5, 72) P(5) = A [ (5)^4 + 2(5)^3 - 7(5)^2 + 4(5) ] = 72 A [ 625 + 250 - 175 + 20 ] = 72 A [ 720 ] = 72 Divide both sides by 720 and find that A = 0.1 Final answer: P(x) = 0.1 ( x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 4x) or P(x) = 0.1 x^4 + 0.2 x^3 - 0.7x^2 + 0.4x
