The answer to your question is:
It is a quadratic equation in 'x', with 'n' mistakenly typed in the second term..
Although you didn't ask for the solutions to the equation, I'm already here
so I might as well go through it and find them:
<span><u>3x² - 2x - 5 = 0</u></span>
In terms of the generic quadratic formula:
A = 3
B = -2
C = -5
Plug those into the quadratic formula, and you discover that
<u>x = -1</u>
and
<u>x = ⁵/₃</u>
Answer:
The price after the discount but before the tax is $21
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are told there is a price off of 40% on an item that costs $35.
What we want to calculate is the value of what the price would be before the tax
We proceed by finding 40% of $35
Mathematically, that would be;
40/100 * 35 = $14
The price of the item before the tax is thus;
35-14 = $21
Answer: 120
You can do p/100 = is/of
40/100 = is/300
then multiply diagonally which is 40 and 300
divide by 100
or the easier way is you can multiply .4 and 300
27, you need to simplify both sides of the equation to get x on one side.
