<span>Yes, the Porters are under budget. The 20% off sale is the best deal because $1,500 times 0.20 is $300. $300 is a bigger discount than the $150 coupon and $200 rebate. $300 off $1,500 is $1,200, which is less than the amount budgeted.</span>
1. You convert all the numbers into decimals.
a. For 8 1/9 you multiply 8x9 and add the numerator which in this case is one, so the equation would be 8x9=72 then 72+1= 73
b. For 81/10 I used a calculator for accuracy and I just divided 81 by 10 because the fraction line can also be used as a division sign. For this I got 8.1
2. Now I looked at all the numbers I had including the fractions I converted to decimals... 8.115, 8.55, 73, and 8.1
3. Lastly, I put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 8.1, 8.115, 8.55, and 73
4. In order to figure out which one is the smallest and largest, I just added zeros on the end of the numbers so they would all be the same: 8.1-->8.100, 8.115 I kept the same because it already had 3 decimal places, 8.55--> 8.550, and 73--> 73.000
5. Then i could tell which number was the largest by the decimal place numbers.
**Hope this was helpful... It's kind of hard to explain online but hopefully you have a better understanding of how to do it!**

Answer:
x = -1 or 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the antilog, you have the quadratic ...
x^2 -x -1 = 1
x^2 -x -2 = 0 . . . . subtract 1
(x -2)(x +1) = 0 . . . factor
The values of x that make these factors zero are the solutions to the equation.
x = 2 or x = -1
