Factor 4
4=1 times 4
2 times 2
they don't add to 2
set up equation
x+y=2
xy=4
first equation, subtract x from both sides
y=2-x
subsitute for y
x(2-x)=4
distribute
2x-x^2=4
add x^2
2x=x^2+4
subtract 2x
0=x^2-2x+4
use quadratic formula which is
if you have ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=
so
1x^2-2x+4=0
a=1
b=-2
c=4

Answer:
$104
Step-by-step explanation:
If the cost in the store is x we can write:
75%x = 78
0.75x = 78
x = 78 / 0.75 = 104
When a number is 3 times a first number. A third number is 100 more than the first number and the sum of the three numbers is 450, the numbers are 70, 170 and 210.
<h3>How to calculate the numbers?</h3>
Let the first number = x
Second number = 3x
Third number = x + 100
Sum = 450
The numbers will be:
x + 3x + x + 100 = 450
5x + 100 = 450
5x = 450 - 100
5x = 350
Divide
x = 350 / 5
x = 70
First number = 70
Second number = 3x = 3 × 70 = 210
Third number = x + 100 = 70 + 100 = 170
Therefore, the numbers are 70, 170 and 210.
