Answer:

Let x = the charge in 1st city before taxes

Let y = the charge in 2nd city before taxes

 

 

Set up equation before taxes.

 

y = x - 1500        eq1

 

 

Set up equation for total tax paid.

 

0.065x + 0.06y = 378.75         eq2

 

 

Substitute eq1 into eq2.

 

0.065x + 0.06(x - 1500) = 378.75

0.065x + 0.06x - 90 = 378.75

0.125x - 90 = 378.75

0.125x = 468.75

       x = 3750

 

Substitute this value of x into eq1.

 

y = 3750 - 1500

y = 2250

 

 

The hotel charge in city one is $3750 and the hotel charge in city two is $2250

What multiplies to 16 and adds to negative 12
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm


we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus  x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}


0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16

x=\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{12^{2}-4(1)(16) }}{2(1)}
x=\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{144-64 }}{2}
x=\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{80}}{2}
x=\frac{-12+/- 4\sqrt{5}}{2}
x=\frac{-6+/- 2\sqrt{5}
x=\frac{-6+ 2\sqrt{5} or \frac{-6- 2\sqrt{5}

aprox
x=-1.52786 or -10.4721

those are the numbers

the numbes are -1.52786 or -10.4721

Suppose a baseball is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of Subscript[v, 0] ft/s. Its height abov
Zina [86]

Answer:

90.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is a time-derivative of displacement or the height, in this case.

s(t)=-16t^2+v_0t

v(t) = -32t+v_0

At maximum height, the velocity is 0 and the height is 128.

Substitute these values into both equations above,

0 = -32t+v_0

t=\dfrac{v_0}{32}

From the first equation,

128 = -16t^2 + v_0t

Substitute for t.

128 = -16(\dfrac{v_0}{32})^2 + v_0\times\dfrac{v_0}{32}

128 = -v_0^2/64 + v_0^2/32

128=\dfrac{v_0^2}{64}

v_0^2=8192

v_0=64\sqrt{2}=90.5
