Using The Almighty Formula (attached)
Note the symbol ^ is used to denote a raise to power
Where from the equation given x^2-5x-7
With a,b,c coefficients
a=1 b=-5 c=-7
From the Almighty Formula
√b^2-4ac=√(-5)^2-4(-7)=√53
Substituting in the Almighty Formula
-(-5) ±√53/2(1)= 5±√53/2
x=5+√53/2 and x=5-√53/2
1.25x
because 25% can be represented as 0.25. so as the new price would be 125% of the old one its 1.25x
number - n
Twice a number - 2n
Seven times the number - 7n
2n = 7n +35
7n-2n = -35
5n = -35
n = - 7
Check:
2(-7) = 7(-7) +35
-14 = -49 + 35
-14 = -14 True
The number is (- 7).
Answer:
-14n - 2r - 21
Step-by-step explanation:
It's D, because the mean doesn't matter as much if it's only taken in a small variability. The mean was selected from 25 random pages in the book, that is why it is right.
