Howdy,

20% is also 1/5 in fraction form, which tells us he spent 1/5 of his money on clothes:

So to solve, we have to multiply 50 by 5:

50 x 5 = 250

Rocco's original savings was $250

Hope this helps! <span />

The sum of a number and its square is 182. Find the number.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

13 and -14 satisfy this condition

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent that number as x

and the square of x is x^2

So,

x + x^2 = 182

Subtract 182 from both sides

x + x^2 - 182 = 182 - 182

x + x^2 - 182 = 0

rearrange the quadratic equation

x^2 + x -182 = 0

let's use the quadratic formula

$\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ or $\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

a = 1, b = 1, c = -182

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{1^2-4*1*(-182)} }{2*1}$ or $\frac{-1-\sqrt{1^2-4*1*(-182)} }{2*1}$

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{1+728} }{2}$ or $\frac{-1-\sqrt{1+728} }{2}$

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{729} }{2}$ or $\frac{-1-\sqrt{729} }{2}$

$\frac{-1+{27} }{2}$ or $\frac{-1-{27} }{2}$

$\frac{26}{2}$ or $\frac{-28}{2}$

13 or - 14

Lets check

13 + 13^2 = 13 + 169

= 182

Also,

-14 + (-14^2) = -14 + 196

= 182

A restaurant that makes deliveries plotted data points on a scatter plot showing the relationship between x, the number of miles

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Given:
y = 2x + 6
x - the number of miles between restaurant and point of delivery
y - the number of minutes between the time an order is place and the time it is delivered.

The correct conclusion is:
<span>C) It takes the restaurant about 6 minutes to prepare each order for delivery

2x is the time it takes to deliver the order, every mile is traveled within 2 minutes.
6 is the number of minutes it takes to prepare the order before it will be set out for delivery.
