Answer:

3800

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables:

O - Original cost

N - New cost

c - change factor

Step 1:

Recognize that if something decreases by 19%, it is worth 19% <em>less</em>

This means that the new price, fractionally, is 100% - 19% = 81%

So we can use c as 0.81 (81/100)

Step 2:

Write an equation to represent what is happening

N = O * c

Step 3:

Sub in what we know

3078 = O * 0.81

Step 4:

Rearange and solve

O = 3078 / 0.81 = 3800

Solve 2x + 4y = -8 and 4x + 8y = 5 by elimination. Please show work on how to get the answer.
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two equations are 2x+4y= -8 and 4x+8y= 5

These two lines are parallel They don't have a solution because they do not meet .

Multiply the first equation by 2 we get 4x+8y = -16

the other equation is 4x+8y= 5 clearly these two are parallel .

To prove by elimination method we have subtract those two equations we get 21≠0 which is not possible.

Therefore there is no solution to the given set of equation.

Solve for x in the equation x^2 + 2x+ 1 = 17.
muminat

Answer:

first, subtract 17 on both sides: x²+2x-16=0

this cannot be factored, so use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

b²-4ac=2²-4(10(-16)=4+64=68

√68=2√17

so x=(-2+2√17)/2 or x=(-2-2√17)/2

x=-1+√17 or x=-1-√17
