Because there was a pay rise, we can write the equation as x+0.04x = 24.492 and solve for x.
x+0.04x = 24.492
1.04x = 24.492
x=23.55
His original pay was £23.55
No, you got the inequalities the wrong way.
In negative numbers, it is how much lower it is than 0. For example, -22 is 22 less than 0. And -2 is 2 less than 0. Here, -22 is actually less than -2 because it is farther below 0 than -2.
You can understand this better if you graph it on a number line.
So, -12 >-15. (-15 is 3 less than -12).
-1/3 >-1.
-2>-21.
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
easy question, 3x9=27
Get the x terms by themselves on one side and a constant on the other side of the equal sign...
4x^2-8x=1 make the leading coefficient equal to one...
x^2-2x=1/4 now halve the linear coefficient, -2 in this case, square it, and add that value to both sides of the equation...-2/2=-1, -1^2=1 so
x^2-2x+1=1+1/4
x^2-2x+1=5/4 now the left side is a perfect square...
(x-1)^2=5/4 take the square root of both sides...
x-1=±√(5/4) add 1 to both sides
x=1±√(5/4)
