Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing that I noticed was that all of the terms had a common factor of
. You can therefore factor that out first:

Now, you have a quadratic equation inside the parentheses. Factoring, you find that the roots are -0.2 and 3, meaning that you can further factor this expression to be:

Answer:
273 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The tower represents the short side of a 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The distance from the tower represents the long leg, not the hypotenuse, of that triangle. It is √3 times the short side. In this geometry, man B is 100√3 = 173.2 meters from the tower.
The tower represents one of two congruent sides of a 45°-45°-90° right triangle. Man A will be standing 100 meters from the tower.
The distance between A and B is 100 +173.2 = 273.2 meters. The men are about 273 meters apart.
Let x be the amount of Ann money, y be Jessica's money and z Mary money.
30% of z equates 0.3*z.
Ann has 30% less than z so: x = z - 0.3z = 0.7z.
70% of z equates 0.7z.
"Jessica has 70% more than Mary " we deduce the equation: y =z+0.7z= 1.7z.
Signe the total is $102, we deduce the equation x+y+z = 102.
x=0.7z and y=1.7z then 0.7z+1.7z+z=102, therefore 3.4z=102 then
z =102/3.4 = $30.
x=0.7*30= 21 and y=1.7*30=51.
Ann has $21, Mary has $30 and Jessica has $51.
