If one is positive we can conclude that the other is also positive

Positive*positive=positive(24)

The product of the two numbers is 24

And the smaller number is less than the greater number by 2

Factors of 24=1*24,2*12,3*8,4*6.

The only pair with the diffrence of two is 4*6

Therefore the two integers are 4 and 6

A retailer buys a coat in bulk at a unit price of $45. The coat is marked up to 28% to sell in the store. What is the price of t

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

57.60

Step-by-step explanation:

If the coat is marked up 28%, then the cost is increased by 28% to produce the selling price.

SP = 45 + 28/100 * 45

SP = Selling Price

SP = 45 + 28*45 / 100

SP = 45 + 1260 / 100

SP = 45 + 12.60

SP = 57.60

Answer: The selling price is 57.60

Is this question proportional? why or why not

sergij07 [2.7K]

No because the cost to ship a video game starts at 4.85 but if it were to start at zero than I would because it consistently adds 39.99.

What are the solutions of the equation (2x + 3)2 + 8(2x + 3) + 11 = 0

Tom [10]

Answer:

$x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{5}}{2}$ or $x=\frac{-7+ \sqrt{5}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$(2x+3)^2+8(2x+3)+11=0$

Let us treat this as a quadratic equation in $(2x+3)$ .

where $a=1,b=8,c=11$

The solution is given by the quadratic formula;

$(2x+3)=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

We substitute these values into the formula to obtain;

$(2x+3)=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{8^2-4(1)(11)} }{2(1)}$

$(2x+3)=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64-44} }{2}$

$(2x+3)=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{20} }{2}$

$(2x+3)=\frac{-8\pm2\sqrt{5} }{2}$

$(2x+3)=-4\pm \sqrt{5}$

$(2x+3)=-4-\sqrt{5}$ or $(2x+3)=-4+ \sqrt{5}$

$2x=-3-4-\sqrt{5}$ or $2x=-3-4+ \sqrt{5}$

$2x=-7-\sqrt{5}$ or $2x=-7+ \sqrt{5}$

$x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{5}}{2}$ or $x=\frac{-7+ \sqrt{5}}{2}$

What is the scale factor from L to S?

MariettaO [177]

Answer: While I don’t have the picture to actually know the answer I will explain how to get it.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the shapes are on a grid count the amount of grid squares that are located between each end point of the shape. If it’s not on a grid use a ruler to measure the side lengths. You will need to find out the side amounts for both shapes L and S.

2. From there if the L shape is SMALLER than the S shape, then take the S shape’s sides and divide it by the L shape’s sides, and whatever number you get from each of your division problems will be your scale factor. BUT If the L shape is BIGGER than the S shape then easiest way to find out your scale factor is to take the last scale factor you got and convert it into a fraction. For example, if you got 3 then it would be 1/3. Hope this helped!
