Answer:

2 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x² - 8x = -12

Step 1

We find x by solving

x² - 8x = -12

We equate to zero

x² - 8x + 12 = 0

We factorise

x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0

x - 6 = 0, x = 6

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

x = 6 or 2

Step 2

What is x - 4?

When x = 6

= 6 - 4 = 2

When x = 2

= 2 - 4 = -2

Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2

27 quarters because 27 multiplied by $0.25 for the amount each quarter is worth is $6.75 meaning that the rest 41 coins would be Nickels multiplied by $0.05 the amount a nickel is worth giving us $8.80 dollars.

I probably said that in a confusing way sorry but the answer is (27 quarters)

Solve for x in the equation ]x^{2} - 12x + 59 = 0

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{2} - 12x + 59 = 0$

Given equaiton is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0

we apply quadratic formula to solve for x

$x= \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

a= 1 b = -12 and c= 59

$x= \frac{12+-\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(1)(59)}}{2(1)}$

$x= \frac{12+-\sqrt{92}}{2}$

$x= \frac{12+-2\sqrt{23}}{2}$

Divide the 12 and square root terms by 2

$x=6+-\sqrt{23}$

so $x=6+\sqrt{23}$ and $x=6-\sqrt{23}$

Donatello Co. has identified an activity cost pool to which it has allocated estimated overhead of $9,600,000. It has determined

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

option (a) Widgets $2,400,000, Gadgets $1,800,000, Targets $5,400,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Allocated estimated overhead = $9,600,000

Expected use of cost drivers for the activity = 800,000 inspections.

Inspections required by Widgets = 200,000

Inspections required by Gadgets = 150,000

Inspections required by Targets = 450,000

Therefore,

Total overhead per activity = $\frac{\textup{estimated overhead}}{\textup{Total activity}}$

= $\frac{\textup{9,600,000}}{\textup{800,000 }}$

= $12 per activity

Thus,

Overhead allocated to Widgets = 200,000 × 12 = $2,400,000

Overhead allocated to Gadgets = 150,000 × 12 = $1,800,000

Overhead allocated to Target = 450,000 × 12 = $5,400,000

Hence, The correct answer is option (a)

Avicenna, a major insurance company, offers five-year life insurance policies to 65-year-olds. If the holder of one of these pol

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Avicenna can expect to lose money from offering these policies. In the long run, they should expect to lose ___33__ dollars on each policy sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The amount the company Avicenna must pay to the shareholder if the person die before 70 years = $ 26,500

The value of each policy = $497

It is given that there is a 2% chance that people will die before 70 years and 98% chance that people will live till the age 70.

The expected policy to be sold= policy nominal + chances of death

= 497 + [98% (no pay) + 2% (pay)]

= 497 + [98%(0) + 2%(-26500)]

(The negative sign shows that money goes out of the company)

= 497 - 2% (26500)

= 497 - 530

=33

Therefore the company loses 33 dollar on each policy sold in the long run.
