The answer is 40 set up a proportion with 60% over 100 and 24 on top of the other fraction.
What is the question itself?
Okay, so you didn't really put anything for me to know what you wanted to solve, so I'm going to assume this is Scientific Notation:
We have:
10^5 = 100,000 x 4.84 would be: 484,000
10^2 = 100 x 3.9 would be: 390
10^7 = 10,000,000 x 8.91 would be: 89,100,000
The highest power is 2.
Explanation:
Because x has a maximum power of 2, there will be 2 answers. if it were 3, there could be up to 3 answers, etc.
While solving this problem, you gather all terms on one side so the equation looks like
x
2
−
81
+
17
=
0
x
2
−
64
=
0
then factor
(
x
−
8
)
(
x
+
8
)
=
0
then, because any number times 0 equals 0, we know that one of the two parts in the parenthesis must be equal to 0, so
x
−
8
=
0
or
x
+
8
=
0
and so the two answers
x
=
8
,
−
8
come to be.
