Turn the percentage into a decimal
7.5%=0.075
.075x=7.38
Divide both sides by .075 to isolate x
x=98.4
Answer:
Two consecutive integers are of the form
x and x + 1
Their product is equal to 56
x(x + 1) = 56
Solve and find the two numbers x and x + 1. The above equation may be written as follows
x2 + x - 56 = 0
Factor and solve
(x - 7)(x + 8) = 0
solutions: x = 7 , x = -8
x= - 8 is not valid since the number sought must be positive. Hence
x = 7 and x + 1 = 8 are the two consecutive numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Tom bought 768 pounds of candy because 333 + 435 = 768
Answer:
f(g(2)) = 44
Step-by-step explanation:
g(2) = 3(2) + 1 = 7
Plug 7 into f(x) since g(2) = 7
f(7) = 7² - 5 = 44
f(g(2)) = 44
