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

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

12.50 - 3.75  = 8.75

$8.75 / $1.25 * (1/2) (per mile) = 3.5 miles

1. Mile .5 (fee and 1st mile)

$3.75 + $1.25 = $5.00

2. Miles .5 - 3.5 (additional 3 miles)

$1.25 * (3*2) = $7.50

Total: $5.00 + 7.50 = $12.50

Percents from Tabled Values
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

  • 17.9% of men have a HS degree
  • 50.5% of 2-yr degree earners were women
  • 27.9% of the group has a 4-yr degree or higher

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to use a spreadsheet to total the numbers for you. This reduces errors and put the numbers in a form that makes it easy to see what you're working with in any given calculation.

  men with HS degree = (male HS)/(all male)

  = 76/425 ≈ 0.1788 ≈ 17.9%

__

  2-yr degrees that are women = (female 2-yr)/(2-yr total)

  = 248/491 ≈ 0.5051 ≈ 50.5%

__

  4-yr degrees in group = (4-yr degrees)/(total group)

  = 258/925 ≈ 0.2789 ≈ 27.9%

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

The spreadsheet is identical to the one used for your other problem. All that needed to be done was to enter the new numbers. The formatting, headers, and formulas remained the same. For solving these problems, it's a matter of picking the two numbers needed from the appropriate row or column and computing their ratio.

(The computations were done by hand here to better show you the numbers used and the rounding to tenth percent. They can be done in the spreadsheet with point and click.)
