You want to divide the cost of the books by the total costs.

308/2800 = 0.11

You then need to convert 0.11 to a percent: 0.11 = 11%

Therefore, 11% of her costs last semester were spent on books.

That’s too much!

Solve for x in the equation.
labwork [276]

Answer:

The solution is \displaystyle x=1\pm \sqrt{47}. Fourth option

Explanation:

Solve for x:

2x^2+3x-7=x^2+5x+39

Move all the terms from the right to the left side of the equation, a zero in the right side:

2x^2+3x-7-x^2-5x-39=0

Join all like terms:

x^2-2x-46=0

The general form of the quadratic equation is:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Solve the quadratic equation by using the formula:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In our equation: a=1, b=-2, c=-46

Substituting into the formula:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(-46)}}{2(1)}

\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4+184}}{2}

\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{188}}{2}

Since 188=4*47

\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4*47}}{2}

Take the square root of 4:

\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm 2\sqrt{47}}{2}

Divide by 2:

\displaystyle x=1\pm \sqrt{47}

First option: Incorrect. The answer does not match

Second option: Incorrect. The answer does not match

Third option: Incorrect. The answer does not match

Fourth option: Correct. The answer matches exactly this option

10. During the hockey season, Elena
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If I remember expanded form is putting all number in terms of being times 10 to a power.  starting with the ones place it's x10^0 which of course is just 1, so you don't need to include the x10 at all.

now, moving one either way  that 0 either  get 1 added to it or subtracted.  So in the 10s place it becomes x10^1 and the tenths place becomes x10^-1.  Similarly the hundreds place and hundreths place will have x10^2 and x10^-2 respectively.  So keep this pattern going to find each place of the number.  Can you list out what places are displayed in 5.625?

I will get you started, but let me know if you don't quite get it.  

5 + 6*10^-1 + ...

Can you figure out the rest?
