functioned and ruined 15 half gallons. If the remaining milk is sold for $4.08 per half gallon, how many half gallons did the store buy if they made a profit of $69.04?

Answer:

88 half gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by creating an equation. First we will need a variable. Since we are trying to find how many half gallons the store bought, that will be what our variable represents.

Let g = the number of half gallons

Since the store bought milk for $2.60 per half gallon, the amount of money they spent will be 2.6g.

The remaining milk is sold for $4.08 per half gallon. Remember, the store lost 15 half gallons so the number of gallons is currently g-15. This means that to find the amount of profit they made, we use 4.08(g-15).

We already know that the profit is $69.04, so we can make this into an equation.

This profit is the amount of money made minus the cost.

4.08(g-15) - 2.6g = 69.04

We can begin to solve this by simplifying the left side.

4.08(g-15) - 2.6g

4.08g - 61.2 - 2.6g

1.48g - 61.2

This makes our new equation:

1.48g - 61.2 = 69.04

We can begin to isolate our variable, g, by adding 61.2 to both sides.

1.48g = 130.24

Then we divide both sides by 1.48.

g = 88

What constant term should be used to complete the square? x 2 - 5x + _____ = 7
amm1812
The quadratic equation in its generic form is:
 ax2 + bx + c
 To complete squares we must add the following term:
 (b / 2) ^ 2
 The equation is:
 ax2 + bx + c + (b / 2) ^ 2
 We have the following equation:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + k = 7
 By completing squares we have:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + (-5/2) ^ 2 = 7 + (-5/2) ^ 2
 Rewriting:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 6.25 = 7 + 6.25
 Answer:
 
A constant term should be used to complete the square is:
 
6.25

Which side of DEF is the longest ? Please help
Minchanka [31]

∠D= 87°, ∠E = 50°

Sum of three angles in a triangle is 180°

∠F = 180 - (∠D + ∠E)

∠F = 180 - (87 + 50)

∠F = 180 - 137

∠F = 43°

Side opposite to greatest angle is the longest side.

Among angle D, E and F, angle D is the greatest angle

So side opposite to angle D is the longest side which is EF

Option B is the answer
