Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's just call the number x for simplicity.
So, 7x is 8 less than x².
Putting this into an equation would look like this
x² - 8 = 7x
It looks like we'll have to factor this to solve. Before we do that we need to move the 7x to the left side so that everything is together.
x² - 7x -8 = 0
Now, we can proceed. To factor we first need to find the factors of -8.
The factors of -8 are
-2 ⋅ 4, -4 ⋅ 2, -1 ⋅ 8, 1 ⋅ -8.
We need to find the pair of factors that adds up to -7. The only ones that do are -1 and 8.
So now that we have these we can create a pair of binomials using them. This will give us the factored form of this equation.
( x + 1 ) ( x - 8 )
To find the solutions we will have to set them to 0 and solve each of these binomials individually.
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
So, one of the solutions is 1. It's not the one we want, since it's positive.
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
This is the one we want since it is positive.
The answer is A).
0.14/0.2
=0.7
The given expression is 2x-3 .
So when x =1, we will get 2(1)-3 = 2-3 =-1
When x=2, we will get, 2(2) -3 = 4-3 =1
When x=3, we will get 2(3)-3 = 6-3=3
When x=4, we will get 2(4)-3 = 8-3=5
So the required result of the expansion is -1+1+3+5=8
Correct option is the second option .
Answer:
Q is the anwser
Step-by-step explanation:
The publisher makes (22.75 -12.00) = 10.75 per book, so to cover the 21,499 fixed cost, must sell
.. 21,499/10.75 = 1999.9
books
Sales revenue will equal production costs when the publisher produces and sells 2000 books.
