1/2 of 20 is 20/2 which is 10.
All you really need to do here is to divide 20 by 2 to get 10.
30% of $1.50 is 0.45 and if it's on sale you subtract from original price
so 1.50 - 0.45
and your answer would be $1.05
Answer:
A fraction is in simplest form when the top and bottom cannot be any smaller, while still being whole numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
OK. These problems are easy if you know the quadratic formula,
and they're impossible if you don't.
Here's the quadratic formula:
When the equation is in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0
then x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
I'm sure that formula is in your text or your study notes,
right before these questions. You should cut it out or
copy it, and tape it inside the cover of your notebook.
Then, you'll always have it when you need it, until
you have it memorized and can rattle it off.
The first question says 3x² + 5x + 2 = 0
Is this in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ?
Yes ! A=3 B=5 C=2
so you can use the quadratic formula to solve it.
x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
= [ -5 plus or minus √(5² - 4·3·2) ] / 2·3
= [ -5 plus or minus √(25 - 24) ] / 6
= [ -5 plus or minus √1 ] / 6
x = -4 / 6 = -2/3
and
x = -6 / 6 = -1 .

The second question says
4x² + 5x - 1 = 0
Is this in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ?
Yes it is ! A=4 B=5 C= -1
so you can use the quadratic formula to solve it.
x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
Now, you take it from here.
They spent a total of $46.25
Here's how I got my answer:
Step 1: Add $18.00 and $16.40 together. Which is $34.50.
Step 2: Add $34.50 and $11.75, which will give you your answer, $46.25.
