____ [38]

Answer:98

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume, that the number 200 is 100%.if 200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 200=100%.We also know, that x is 49% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49%.Now we have two simple equations:

1) 200=100%

2) x=49%

we multiply both sides of the equation by x.then we divide both sides of the equation.

Solve quadratic equation (x-3)^2+5=14

loris [4]

(X-3)^2+5=14
Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation
X^2-6x+14=14

Step 2: subtract 14 from both sides
X^2-6x+14-14=14-14
X^2-6x=0

For this equation: a=1, b=-6,c=0
1x^2+-6x+0=0

Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=1, b=-6, c=0

The answer is x=6 or x=0
