For this problem, you could use the Scale Factor.
I will use x for the height of the building.

So 8 is to 90 as 5 is to x.

Our equation is:

8(SF) = 90

Divide both side by 8:

SF = 45/4

Then, we plug SF into the next equation:

5(SF) = x
5(45/4) = x
56.25 = x

Round to the nearest foot, and the height of the building is 56 feet.

B2-4b+4=0 using quadratic forumla
Ivan

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term   

Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span> 
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span>  1 • 4 = 4</span> 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  4  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span>     </span></span>

<span><span>-4   +   -1   =   -5</span><span>     -2   +   -2   =   -4   That's it</span></span>


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -2  and  -2 
                     <span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    b • (b-2)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (b-2)  •  (b-2)
             Which is the desired factorization

At a local department store, jeans are typically priced at $15. Due to a special, the jeans are reduced to 80% of their original
vodomira [7]

Answer:the price of jeans now is $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the current price of the jeans. At the local department store, jeans are typically priced at $15. It means that the original price of the jeans is $15 .

Due to a special, the jeans are reduced to 80% of their original price. This means that the original price was reduced by 20%. Therefore, the current price, x would be

x = 15 - (20/100 × 15) = 15 - 3

x = $12
