Use the quadratic formula -b+/-√b^2 -4(ac) / 2a
-4 +/- √(4^2 - 4(1*10) / (2*1)
X = -2 +/- i√6
let the original price be x.
then,
x- 25% of x= 24
x- 25x/100 = 24
x- x/4=24
3x/4=24
3x= 96
x= 32
in short...the original price= 32 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
7x+22=2(5x+2)
7x+22=10x+4 (-7x)
3x+4=22 (-4)
3X=18 (divide by 3)
X=6 pencils
check if the number is correct
asha= 7*6=42 42+22 is 64
Lucy= 5*6=30 30+2 is 3264/32 is 2
asha= 7*6=42 42+22 is 64Lucy= 5*6=30 30+2 is 3264/32 is 2there fore asha sells twice as many as Lucy
Answer:
<em>sorry i don't know the answer:(</em>
Answer:
x₁ = -4
x₂ = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x²+ x + 12 = 0
x = {-1±√((1²)-(4*1*-12))} / (2*1)
x = {-1±√(1+48)} / 2
x = {-1±√49} / 2
x = {-1±7} / 2
x₁ = {-1-7} / 2 = -8/2 = -4
x₂ = {-1+7} / 2 = 6/2 = 3
Check:
x₁
-4² + (-4) - 12 = 0
16 - 4 - 12 = 0
x₂
3² + 3 - 12 = 0
9 + 3 - 12 = 0
