Factored Form:
x^2 - 4x - 5
Simplifying:
x^2 + - 4x + - 5 = 0
Reorder the terms:
- 5 + - 4x + x^2 = 0
Solving for variable " x":
Subproblem 1:
Set the factor ( - 1 + - 1x) equal to Zero and attempt to solve.
Simplifying:
- 1 + - 1x = 0
Solving:
- 1 + - 1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
Add 1 to each side of equation:
- 1 + 1 + - 1x = 0 + 1
Combine Like Terms: 0 + 1 = 1
x = - 1
Divide each side by - 1
x = - 1
Simplifying: x = - 1
Subproblem 2: Set the factor (5 + - 1x) equal to Zero attempt to solve
Simplifying:
5 + - 1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
Add - 5 to each side of the equation
5 + - 5 + - 1x = 0 + 5
Combine Like terms: 5 + - 5 = 0
0 + - 1x = 0 + - 5
- 1x = 0 + - 5
Combine Like Terms: 0 + - 5 = - 5
- 1x = - 5
Divide each side by - 1
x = 5
Simplifying:
x = 5
Solution:
x = { - 1, 5}
Answer when factored:
(x + 1)(x - 5)
hope that helps!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
We are told that the store offers off 10% of sales, this means that the store is offsetting the price down by 10% hence a price reduction.
Moreso, <em>a coupon is a voucher entitling the holder to a discount off a particular product</em>. the coupon is 40%, hence this is equal to a discount, that is price reduction by 40%.
Step two:
<em>Say the price of an item is $100, a coupon if 40% will entitle the holder to only pay $60, that is</em>
=40/100*100
=0.4*100
=$40 off
= 100-40
=$60
<u>The total percent of reduction 10+40= 50%</u>
<u>This is equal to a discount on the sales price</u>

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
5.06
Discussion:
Angle J = 180 - (120 + 40) = 180 - 160 = 20 degrees,
From the law of sines
sin(120)/k = sin(20)/2 =>
sin(120) = k * ( sin(20)/2) ) (multiply both sides by "k")
k = sin(120)/ ( sin(20)/2) (divide both sides by sin(20)/2)
k = (0.866) / ( 0.171) = 5.06

Answer:
Therefore, Company B is offering the lowest price/lb at $12.73/lb.
So, Company A's price / lb = ($32.50/2.5lbs) = $13.00/lb
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine price per lb, divide dollar amount by lbs.
- Company A sells 2 1/2lbs (2.5lbs) for $32.50
- Company B sells 2 3/4lbs (2.75lbs) for $35.00
And, Company B's price / lb = ($35.00/2.75lbs) = $12.73/lb
