Solve the equation 6x^2 + 15x + 3= 2x^2 to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

x = -0.2 and x = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms in the given equation, by subtracting 2x^2 from both sides:

6x^2 + 15x + 3 = 2x^2

-2x^2                = -2x^2

----------------------------------

4x^2 + 15x + 3 = 0

This is a quadratic equation.  We'll find the two solutions using the quadratic equation

      -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)

x = ---------------------------

                  2a

Here the coefficients of the quadratic are a = 4, b = 15 and c = 3.

Thus, the discriminant b^2 - 4ac is 15^2 - 4(4)(3), or +177

and from that we know we'll find two real, unequal roots.

                                -15 ± √177

The roots are:  x = ------------------- , or x = -0.2 and x = -3.5

                                         8

Meal=$40 find the total cost​
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to leave a 15% tip on a meal that cost $48.

First, convert the 15% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 15%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "15%" becomes 15% / 100% = 0.15 in terms of a real mathematical number.

Second, you need to find out what 15% of your $48 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.15 by $48.00, or

0.15 x $48.00=$7.20.

So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $7.20.

This makes the total cost of your meal (to write on your charge slip or other payment)

$48.00 + $7.20 = $55.20.

i hope this may come to use to your rude a    s    s
