The initial amount, (original starting amount) is 18,000.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
0 = x^2 + 6x – 10
Add 10 to each side
10 = x^2-6x
Take the coefficient of x
-6
Divide by 2
-6/2 =-3
Square it
(-3)^2 =9
Add 9 to each side
10+9 = x^2-6x+9
We use -3 for the square term
19 = (x-3)^2
Take the square root of each side
±sqrt(19) = x-3
Add 3 to each side
3±sqrt(19) = x
6, 12, 18, 24.
8, 16, 24.
24 is your answer. Hoped I helped!
This is because each number of x is being multiplied by 100
