Answer:

(-3)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You add 7 on both sides, giving you x^2 - 6x = 7

Then, take half of b, and square it. Giving you x^2 - 6x +(-3)^2 = 7

The answer will be (-3)^2 for this question, but this is not the full solution.

Hope this helped. Good luck on the rest!

A rectangular computer monitor is measured by the length and width of its display resolution. Three different monitors are descr
Anna [14]

Answer: Monitors A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

The similar monitors based on display resolution are those with similar ratios.

Take the ratios to their simplest forms to see which are similar.

Monitor A

= 640 : 480

= 16 : 12

= 4 : 3

Monitor B

= 800 : 600

= 8 : 6

= 4 : 3

Monitor C

= 1,280 : 800

= 32 : 20

= 8 : 5

<em>Monitors A and B are similar as they have the same display ratio. </em>

If Janet scored an 85% on her test she answered 34 questions correctly how many questions were on the test
Wittaler [7]
40 questions. You set up a proportion, mutiply 34 by a 100 and get 3400. Then you divide 3400 by 85 and you get ur answer. You could also try guessing by putting in random values you think are the whole number and multiplying them by 0.85. So if you guess 44 is the whole and try checking it by multiplying it by .85 and get a value thats higher than the value the percentage is equal to you try another smaller value. So if 44 doesn't work you can try 40. 40 times .85 is 34 so your answer of 40 questions is correct.

Using the midpoint method (show your work), calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price of a barrel of gosum berries
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

P₁ = $10, P₂ = $20

From the tables Q₁ = 900, Q₂ = 800

Using midpoint method:

Percentage change in quantity = \frac{Q_2-Q_1}{(Q_1+Q_2)/2} *100\%=\frac{800-900}{(900+800)/2}*100\%= -11.76\%\\

Percentage change in price =

\frac{P_2-P_1}{(P_1+P_2)/2} *100\%=\frac{20-10}{(20+10)/2}*100\%= 66.67\%\\

Price of elastic demand = Percentage change in quantity/ Percentage change in price = -11.76% / 66.67% = 0.18

The Price of elastic demand is positive because we took the absolute value and elasticity are always positive

Therefore since Price of elastic demand < 1, the demand is inelastic in this interval.

This means that, along the demand curve between $10 to $20, if the price changes by 1%, the quantity demanded will change by 0.18%. A change in the price will result in a smaller percentage change in the quantity demanded. For example, a 10% increase in the price will result in only a 1.8% decrease in quantity demanded and a 10% decrease in the price will result in only a 1.8% increase in the quantity demanded

Nesterboy [21]

Since my answer was deleted here it is:

The variable x represents the cost per pound of meat.

The variable y represents the cost per pound of cheese.

The deli charges $4.50 for a pound of meat.

Have a great day! (this is late but for anyone else who needs it)
