The first answer
f(x)= (x-3)^2 + 4
The answer is 1/20 .............
20.50 * 0.8 = $16.40
16.40 * 0.4 = $6.56
Final selling price = $6.56
Let x be larger integer so x-3 is the smaller
so x^2+ x-3 = 87
x^2 +x -90=0 and factor
(x-9)(x+10)=0
x=9 or x=-10 but x must be positive
so x=9 and smaller number is 6
The supplement of < 72 has the same measure as < (4x + 8). Therefore, < (4x + 8) must equal 108°. We can establish the following equality statement to solve for x:
< (4x + 8) + < 72° = 180°
Combine like terms:
4x + 80 = 180°
Subtract 80 from both sides:
4x + 80° - 80° = 180° - 80°
4x = 100
Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:
4x/4 = 100/4
x = 25
To verify whether the value of x is correct, substitute its value into the equality statement:
< (4x + 8)° + < 72° = 180°
< [4(25) + 8]° + < 72° = 180°
< (100 + 8)° + < 72° = 180°
< 108° + < 72° = 180°
180° = 180° (True statement. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 25).
