Translating into a mathematical equation:

n + n^2 = 72

Rewriting,    n^2 + n - 72 = 0
Factoring,    (n+9)(n-8) = 0
Solving for n:  n = -9 or n = 8

You must check both answers before accepting one, the other or both.

Example:  suppose we check out n = 8.  Then  8 + 8^2 = 72 is true, and n = 8 is a solution.  Is n = -9 a solution?  Try it.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

3 and 17/24 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to make the denominator the same so find what number the 8 and 3 can both be turned into to make the same number. They can both be made into a 24. 8x3=24 so you multiply the 3 by 3 making 9. Do the same to the 1/3, multiplying both by 8 making 8/24.

2 9/24 and 1 8/24 which can be made into 3 17/24

ludmilkaskok [199]
Hey You!

Let's solve this step-by-step:

9.99 * 20% = 1.998

9.99 - 1.998 = 7.992

7.992 * 6.75% = 0.53946

7.992 + 0.53946 = 8.53746

The total cost of his order is $8.53
