Solve:
"<span>twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1."
3(1)
Let the number be n. Then 2n - ------- = 1
n
Mult all 3 terms by n to elim. the fractions:
2n^2 - 3 = n. Rearranging this, we get 2n^2 - n - 3 = 0.
We need to find the roots (zeros or solutions) of this quadratic equation.
Here a=2, b= -1 and c= -3. Let's find the discriminant b^2-4ac first:
disc. = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-3) = 1 + 24 = 25.
That's good, because 25 is a perfect square.
-(-1) plus or minus 5 1 plus or minus 5
Then x = ------------------------------ = --------------------------
2(2) 4
x could be 6/4 = 3/2, or -5/4.
You must check both answers in the original equation. If the equation is true for one or the other or for both, then you have found one or more solutions.</span>

Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
3m 3m • 5
3m = —— = ——————
1 5
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
3m • 5 - (4) 15m - 4
———————————— = ———————
5 5
Equation at the end of step 2 :

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D. 0.65
Step-by-step explanation:
0.05 x 5=0.25
0.01 x 5=0.05
0.07 x 5=0.35
0.25+0.05+0.35=0.65
they all must pay 0.65 each
So I believe you will have to do 10% x 7 as it has been seven years which will be 70% and 70% of 8000 is 5600 so the answer will be £5600
