Answer:
271,403 is rounded to 270,000 because the 1403 before it is less than 5000, 4 and below drop it down, 5 or more bump it up.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + a)/(ax) = b/x
a= 2
b = 5
(x + 2) /(2x) = 5/x
cross multiply
x * (x+2) = (2x)*5
x^2 + 2x = 10x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x ( x -8) = 0
We get two solutions
x = 0, 8
the solution 0 is extraneous
the solution 8 is valid.
Answer: 2 months, Total cost= $72
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denote the number of months then
For Club A fee= 28+22x
For Club B fee= 16+28x
Equating both we get
28 + 22x= 16+28x
28-16= 28-22x
12= 6x
x= 2
So after 2 months the fee will be same i.e. 28+22(2)= $72
Find the prices per ounce by dividing the dollars by the number of ounces:-
1.79 / 15 = 0.1193 dollars per ounce
1.49 / 12 = 0.1242 dollars per ounce
So the first one is the better buy.
x² + 7x - 4 = 0
a = 1, b = 7, c = -4
x = [-b +/- √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
= [-7 +/- √(49 + 4)]/2
= (-7 +/- √53)/2
