Answer:
x=-2.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 workers
Step-by-step explanation:
Number workers to earnings is direct proportion.
8: 2400 :: x : 1800
Product of means = Product of extremes
2400 * x = 8*1800
X^2 - 4 x = -2
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 2
Write the left-hand side as a square:
(x - 2)^2 = 2
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 2 = sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
Answer: x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x = 2 - sqrt(2)
