Answer: total is 200
Step-by-step explanation:
30% = 60
10% = 60/3 = 20
100% = 200
Let's represent the two numbers by x and y. Then xy=60. The smaller number here is x=y-7.
Then (y-7)y=60, or y^2 - 7y - 60 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to (1) determine whether y has real values and (2) to determine those values if they are real:
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; here the discriminant is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(-60) = 191. Because the discriminant is positive, this equation has two real, unequal roots, which are
-(-7) + sqrt(191)
y = -------------------------
-2(1)
and
-(-7) - sqrt(191)
y = ------------------------- = 3.41 (approximately)
-2(1)
Unfortunately, this doesn't make sense, since the LCM of two numbers is generally an integer.
Try thinking this way: If the LCM is 60, then xy = 60. What would happen if x=5 and y=12? Is xy = 60? Yes. Is 5 seven less than 12? Yes.
we can use formula
we can compare
we get
a=x
b=2
now, we can plug that in formula
and we get
now, we can simplify it

Answer:
.0000416
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 10 is squared by a negative number, the number (4.16) will be smaller. To find the answer, move the decimal 5 places to the left
The constant in an equation would be the number multiplied to x,
In the equation y - 6.7x, the constant would be 6.7
