Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
Yes you did those two correctly
In a quadratic equation with the general formula of:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
The discriminant is equal to b^2 - 4(a)(c). If the answer is a perfect square, then there are two real numbers. If not, then there are no real number root.
The discriminant for this equation is
(-6)^2 - 4(3)(1) = 24
Since 24 is not a perfect square, there are no real number roots.
158.71 rounded to the nearest ten dollars would be $160.00
then to estimate 10% since 10% starts with a 1, just remove the zero from both numbers
so 160 becomes 16
the tip would be $16
Answer:
5.72
Step-by-step explanation:
(-16.75 + 16.75) = 0
0 + 5.72= 5.72
Therefore, the answer is 5.72
