Answer:

X=9 and X=5

Step-by-step explanation:

So you want to get one side to equal zero so you can factor and find x. I recommend subtracting 14x and adding 45 to both sides so you don't have to deal with a negative quadratic.

X^2 - 14X +45 = 0

Now you can factor. Your looking for two factors that equal 45 and add to -14

All factors of 45:

1 and 45, 3 and 15, 5 and 9, -1 and -45,

-3 and -15, -5 and -9

So out of those combinations -5 and -9 both multiply to 45 and add up to -14 so these are our common factors

(X-5)(X-9)=0

X-5=0 add 5 to both sides X=5

X-9=0 add 9 to both sides X=9

At least 100 students at a certain high school study Japanese. If 4 percent of the students at the school who study French also

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: Yes, Number of students who study French is greater than number of students who study Japanese.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of high school students study Japanese ≥ 100

Percent of high school students who study French also study Japanese = 4%

If the Percent of the students who Japanese also study French = 10%

So, our equation becomes

$0.04\times F=0.10\times J\\\\\dfrac{F}{J}=\dfrac{0.10}{0.04}=\dfrac{10}{4}$

With the help of ratio, we get that

Number of students who study French is greater than number of students who study Japanese.

Hence, Yes, Number of students who study French is greater than number of students who study Japanese.

If pens cost 9 cents each, what equation could be written to calculate the cost, c, of any number of pens, p?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The total cost (in dollars) of p pens is C = 0.09 p

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of each pen = 9 cents

Now, 1 cent = $0.01 cents

⇒ 9 cents = $0.09

So, the cost of 1 pen = $0.09

The number of pens purchased= p

Let the total cost of p pens = c

Also, the cost of p pens = p x ( Cost of 1 pen) = p ( $0.09) = 0.09 p

or, C = 0.09 p

Hence the total cost (in dollars) of p pens is C = 0.09 p.
