It says 2 significant figures so the least it can possibly be is 0.5 less and the most it can be is 0.5 more as if it was, lets say 20.4 it would round down to 20 not 21.

What is the solution to the equation? 2 x squared plus 4 equals 20 Choose all answers that are correct.

Stolb23 [73]

$2x^2+4=20\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 4\ from\ both\ sides\\\\2x^2=16\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x^2=8\iff x=\pm\sqrt8\\----------------------------\\\sqrt8=\sqrt{4\cdot2}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt2=2\cdot\sqrt2=2\sqrt2\ \ \ |use\ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\-----------------------------\\therefore\ your\ answer\ is\ -2\sqrt2\ and\ 2\sqrt2\to\boxed{a\ and\ c}$

Juliet has a choice between receiving a monthly salary of $1750 from a company or a base salary of $1600 and a 3% commission on

Westkost [7]

For an amount of sales of $5,000, the two salary choice will be equal

Let the amount of sales be $x

The 3% she will receive will be;

$\frac{3}{100}\times x\text{ = 0.03x}$

We add this to the base salary and equate to the former monthy salary

We have this as;

$\begin{gathered} 1750\text{ =1600 + 0.03x} \\ 1750-1600\text{ = 0.03x} \\ 150\text{ = 0.03x} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{150}{0.03} \\ x\text{ = \$5000} \end{gathered}$

Subtract the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid.

Grace [21]

(3m - 4n - 7) - (8m + n - 6)

3m - 8m = - 5m
-4n - n = -5n
-7 - (-6) = -7 + 6 = -1

-5m - 5n - 1 is your answer

hope this helps
