A quadratic equation is set up in the form of ax² + bx +c
First set equation = to 0
0= x² - 5x - 24
Next plug into quadratic formula( -b Plus or minus the √b²-4ac) ÷ 2a
[10 plus or minus √(25² - 4×1×24)] ÷ 2
Solve for inner parenthesis first
√625- 96 = √529
Now set up two equations
(10 + √529) ÷2 = x = 16.5
(10 - √529) ÷2 = x = -6.5
So therefore x = 16.5 and -6.5
Answer:
A. $1,710
B. Yes, probably.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that a 10% decrease in energy use leads to a 10% decrease in the electric bill:
We'll want to find the value which is 10% less than the original value, i.e., the bill cost which is 90% of the original bill.
90% = 0.9
Since the original bill was $1900, we can just multiply 1900 by 0.9:

Answer: A bill of $1,710 would equal a 10% decrease.
Since $1,672 is less than that, then they have decreased their energy use by more than 10% which is likely a success.
Answer: Yes, probably.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2/12 = 1/6
24 * 1/6 = 4
or
12/24 = 2/x
12 x = 48
x = 4
or the original width was twice the length
twice 2 is 4
The circumference of the circle is 75.36 cm.
Diameter of the circle is 24 cm,

- Step 2: Formula used and calculation:
Circumference of the circle is
.
So, Radius, r = 24/2 = 12 cm.
Now, Putting the value in the above formula, we get
2 × 3.14 ×12 = 3.14 × 24 = 75.36 cm.
Hence, the circumference of the circle is 75.36 cm.

If 105 customers were the total, and 35% prefers cake, we must calculate 35% of 105, then we must do 105 multiplied by 35%, we can doit transforming the 35% in the fraction notation:

And the multiplication

Therefore, if we round it to the nearest whole number, the number of customers that prefer cake is 37.
37 customers prefer cake.
