Let's set it up like this:
Multiply both sides by
We are then going to use the distributive property. Since we also know that the opposite of an number that is squared is the square root, we can also apply that. We would be left with something like this:
The variable
can be both positive or negative.
We have found successfully our answer.

Answer: No, the money won't be enough to buy the car
Step-by-step explanation:
you plan on buying yourself a new $20,000 car on graduation day and graduation day is 24 months time. If you invest $300 a month for the next 24 months.
The principal amount, p = 300
He is earning 4% a month, it means that it was compounded once in four months. This also means that it was compounded quarterly. So
n = 4
The rate at which the principal was compounded is 4%. So
r = 4/100 = 0.04
It was compounded for a total of 24 months. This is equivalent to 2 years. So
n = 2
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
A = total amount that would be compounded at the end of n years.
A = 300(1 + (0.04/4)/4)^4×2
A = 300(1 + 0.01)^8
A = 300(1.01)^8
A = $324.857
The total amount at the end of 24 months is below the cost of the car which is $20000. So he won't have enough money to buy the car
Markup=10.82(72/100)≈$7.79 (to nearest cent)
retail=10.82(100+72)/100≈$18.61 (to nearest cent)
<span>(2) y is the total cost, x is the number of months of service, $40 is the installation fee, and $90 is the service charge per month.</span>
y = 40 + 90x
y = total cost
x = number of months of service
40 = one time installation fee
90 = monthly service charge.
Let us assume that the number of months of service is 10 months. then, the total cost would be:
y = 40 + 90(10)
y = 40 + 900
y = 940
Answer:
2x − 9 and x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² + 3x − 54
Factor using the AC method.
2 × -54 = -108
Factors of -108 that add up to 3 are +12 and -9.
Divide by 2 and reduce: 12/2 = 6/1, -9/2 = -9/2.
Therefore, the factors are x + 6 and 2x − 9.
