Let x = # of original members
Cost per person (originally) = 832/x
Cost per person after 6 more people = 832/(x+6)
Solve 832/x=832/(x+6) +6 (because the cost was reduced by 6
Solve for x.
x = 26 or -32 (but x is number of members, so it can't be negative)
# of original members is 26.
Original cost is 832/26 = $32 per person.
Y= 12 - x
27 + 3( 12 - x ) = 2x
Answer:
x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4
(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ±
( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ± 
Thus
x = - 2 -
≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 2 +
≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
Answer:
C. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember 0 to 4 turn it back
5 or above give it a shove.
Since 12.444 is around 0 to 4.
We can round that to 12.
