8 because you would multiply 20 and 2/5
Answer:
3.6 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
3z when z=1.2
3(1.2)=?
3*1.2=
(3*1)+(3*.2)=3+.6
Answer:
Alexis: 2.5x
Gary: x
James: x + 18
Total: (2.5x) + (x) + (x + 18)
= 4.5x + 18
Bonus:
4.5x + 18 = 1206
4.5x = 1188
x = 264
Alexis: 2.5(264) = 660
Gary: 264
James: 264 + 18 = 282
Answer:
(3 (pm) sqrt(7))/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First step: Identify a,b, and c
a=2
b=-6
c=1
Second step: Find b^2-4ac (this is called the discriminant-I will call this D)
(-6)^2-4(2)(1)=36-8=28
Third step: Find the square root of the discriminant aka sqrt(D)
sqrt(28)
Let's see if we can simplify sqrt(28)
Here is there a factor of 28 that is a perfect square? How about 4? Yep!
sqrt(28)=sqrt(4)sqrt(7)=2sqrt(7).
Fourth Step: What is -b? If b=-6 then -b=6.
Fifth step: What is 2a? 2(2)=4
So the formula is
x=(-b (pm) sqrt(D))/(2a)
or
x=(step4 (pm) step 3)/(step 5)
x=(6 (pm) 2sqrt(7))/4
Simplify
x=(3 (pm) sqrt(7))/2
*pm means plus or minus
*sqrt( ) means square root of the number that follows in the ( )
