Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic formula: 


Hope this helps and God bless!
The answer is B.about 400, because if you multiply 18 by 24 you get the answer without rounding, and that answer would be 434; once 434 is rounded to the closest possible answer, you get that the answer, which is, as stated before, B. about 400.
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.
<h3>Setup</h3>
Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...
x(8/7)x = 896
(8/7)x² = 896
<h3>Solution</h3>
Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...
x² = (7/8)(896) = 784
x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root
The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.
8 is the hundreds, 7 in the tens, and 3 in the ones
