Answer:
1. $450
2. $128
Step-by-step explanation:
1. new price = .4 (.4 * original price x)
72 = .16x
x = 450
2. new price = .75 (.75 * original price x)
72 = .5625x
x = 128
Answer:
14 boys paid for the full year fee and 4 boys paid for the partial year fee
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a system of equations, where x is the number that paid for the $24 fee and y is the number that paid for the $16 fee:
24x + 16y = 400
x = y + 10
Solve by substitution by plugging in y + 10 as x:
24x + 16y = 400
24(y + 10) + 16y = 400
Solve for y:
24y + 240 + 16y = 400
40y + 240 = 400
40y = 160
y = 4
Then, plug in 4 as y to find x:
x = y + 10
x = 4 + 10
x = 14
So, 14 boys paid for the full year fee and 4 boys paid for the partial year fee.
Answer:
B and D
Step-by-step explanation:
quadrilaterals only have 4 sides hence the prefix quad
Since the graph is a straight line, we know that this equation follows some sort of y = mx + b format.
Let's take the points that are on the axes (-4,0) and (0,-3)
use them to find the slope = (0 - (-3))/(-4 - 0) = 3/(-4) = -3/4
this is our m in the general equations above
we now have y = (-3/4)x + b
b is the y-intercept which is where x = 0 we already have that point in (0,-3)
plug the -3 in for b to give as a final answer:
y = (-3/4)x - 3
<span>2n^2 - 7n - 3 = 0
a = 2
b = -7
c =-3
Then use the Quadratic formula:
x = [-b +-sqroot(b^2 -4*a*c)] / 2*a
