Hi there
Root=0.5 means x=0.5
Plug in 0.5 for x
(b-5)0.5^2-(b-2)0.5+b=0
(b-5)0.25-(b-2)035+b=0
Simplify
0.75b-2.25=0
b=3
Hope this helps
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for geometric series
an=a1(r)^n-1
a2=1/4(1/3)^1
a2=1/12
The unit rate of the equation is 3x+7
Answer:
The tax amount is 15.17$
The tax rate is 12.4%.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we subtract the cost from the selling price.
137.17 - 122 = 15.17
We have found the tax amount, now for the tax rate.
If tax rate is x, then
122 * x = 137.17
Divide both sides by 122 to get
x = 137.17/122 = 1.124, or .124.
Then convert into percentage by moving the decimal to the right 2 times.
.124 = 12.4%
Hope this helps you
