Simplifying
b2 + -4b + -14 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0

Solving
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0

Solving for variable 'b'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + -4b + 14 + b2 = 0 + 14

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14
-4b + b2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
-4b + b2 = 14

The b term is -4b. Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4b + 4 + b2 = 14 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4b + b2 = 14 + 4

Combine like terms: 14 + 4 = 18
4 + -4b + b2 = 18

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + -2)(b + -2) = 18

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.242640687

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(b + -2) equal to 4.242640687 and -4.242640687. b + -2 = 4.242640687

Simplifying
b + -2 = 4.242640687

Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = 4.242640687

Solving
-2 + b = 4.242640687

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = 4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = 4.242640687 + 2
b = 4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: 4.242640687 + 2 = 6.242640687
b = 6.242640687
Simplifying
B = 6.242640687

Subproblem 2
b + -2 = -4.242640687

Simplifying
b + -2 = -4.242640687

Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = -4.242640687

Solving
-2 + b = -4.242640687

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = -4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = -4.242640687 + 2
b = -4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: -4.242640687 + 2 = -2.242640687
b = -2.242640687

Simplifying
b = -2.242640687

Please help me 3(x + 2) * 10 * 7 divided by 70 - 2 (x+2) Simplify

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

= 105(x+2)/33-x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

[3(x+2)*10*7]÷70 - 2(x+2)

= 3(x+2)*70÷70 - 2(x+2)

= 210(x+2)/70-2x-4

= 210(x+2)/66-2x

= 210(x+2)/2(33-x)

= 105(x+2)/33-x

Please help me with this

Len [333]

Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To first solve this problem, we need to figure out the size of an interior angle for a regular hexagon.

This can be done with the formula :

$angle = \frac{(n-2)*180}{n}$ , with n being the number of sides

A hexagon has 6 sides so here is how we would solve for the interior angle:

$\frac{(6-2)*180}{6}=120$ , with n= 6 sides

Now that we know that each interior angle in the hexagon is 120 degrees, we can now turn our attention to the rhombus.

The opposite angles of the rhombus are congruent, so the two larger obtuse angles are congruent, and so are the two smaller acute angles.

It is also important to note that a rhombus is a quadrilateral, so all of its interior angles add up to 360 degrees.

Looking at the rhombus, we already know one of the angles because it is shared by the interior angle of the hexagon, so the two larger angles in the rhombus are both 120 degrees.

But what about the smaller angles? All we need to do is subtract the two larger angles form 360 and divide by 2 to find the angle.

$\frac{360-2(120)}{2} = 60$ , so the smaller angle in the rhombus is 60 degrees.

Now that we know both the interior angle and smaller angle of the rhombus, we can find x.

Together, angle x and the angle adjacent to it makes up an interior angle of the hexagon, so x plus that angle is going to equal to 120 degrees.

All we need to do is solve for x:

$x+60=120$

$x=120-60$

x = 60 degrees

Need help filling in the blanks: selling price using markup.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Refer to the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take each one at a time.

To solve for the complement, we simply subtract our markup rate by 100%.

100% - 30% = 70%

Now to solve for the selling price, we use the formula

$SellingPrice=\dfrac{Cost}{ComplementOfMarkupRate}$

$SellingPrice=\dfrac{86.74}{0.70}$

Selling Price = $123.91

We do the same process with the first number.

100% - 40% = 60%

$SellingPrice=\dfrac{Cost}{ComplementOfMarkupRate}$

$SellingPrice=\dfrac{220.00}{0.60}$

SellingPrice = $366.67

The same as the first two.

100% - 20% = 80%

$SellingPrice=\dfrac{Cost}{ComplementOfMarkupRate}$

$SellingPrice=\dfrac{89.50}{0.80}$

SellingPrice = $111.88

Now to solve for the markup rate, we use the formula:

$MarkupRate=\dfrac{Markup}{SelingPrice}$

In this case we first need to find the markup. The markup is the difference between the selling price and the cost.

Selling Price = $235.28

Cost = $199.99

Markup = $235.28 - $199.99

Markup = $35.29

Now the we know our markup, we can then solve for the markup rate using the formula.

$MarkupRate=\dfrac{Markup}{SelingPrice}$

$MarkupRate=\dfrac{35.29}{235.28}$

MarkupRate = 0.1499 x 100 = 14.99% or 15%

Now for the last one, we need to find for the cost. Let's use the selling price formula to find for the cost.

$SellingPrice=\dfrac{Cost}{ComplementOfMarkupRate}$

Selling Price = $30.77

Complement = 65% or 0.65

This will then give us.

$30.77=\dfrac{Cost}{0.65}$

We multiple both sides of the equation by 0.65 to leave our cost alone.

30.77 x 0.65 = Cost

Cost = $20
