The unit price is $6.25 because $43.75 divided by 7 is $6.25
<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
Simplest form of 12/15 is 4/5
To simplify the fraction, you need to divide both numerator (12) and denominator (15) by a number that goes into both numbers which is 3. You then end up with your fraction
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=4.63
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = (1/2) (base) (height)
20 = (1/2) (x+4) (x)
40 = x²+4x
x²+4x-40=0
Put in quadratic equation:
x=
x=
x=4.63324958071 or x=-8.63324958071
Since x can't be negative in this case we take our answer to be 4.63324958071, which rounds to 4.63
