Answer: $45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x.

Since there was a discount of 20%, it means the person bought the frying pan at (100% - 20%) = 80% of the original price. This can then be formed into an equation as:

80% × x = $36

0.8 × x = $36

0.8x = $36

x = $36/0.8

x = $45

The original price was $45

rewrite f(x)=x^2+8x-20 in the form that would most easily help you identify the zeros of the function
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

f(x) = (x-2) (x+10)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2+8x-20

Factor the right hand side

What 2 numbers multiply to -20 and add to 8

-2 * 10 = -20

-2 + 10 = 8

f(x) = (x-2) (x+10)

Then we can use the zero product property to help us to find the zero's

Solve for p -6p+7=3(2p-3)-4(-10+4p
ozzi

p-6p+7=3(2p-3)-4(-10+4p

We move all terms to the left:

p-6p+7-(3(2p-3)-4(-10+4p)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

p-6p-(3(2p-3)-4(4p-10)+7=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-5p-(3(2p-3)-4(4p-10)+7=0
