Answer:

Principal = $1800

Step-by-step explanation:

$594 = \frac{p \times 5.5 \times 6}{100}$

$\frac{594 \times 100}{5.5 \times 6}$

59400/33 = p

1800 = p

Len [333]

Pretty sure its 58, because i think you find it by multiplying the 4 inches by 14.5 because that's what each inch represents, so if this is wrong I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure its 58.

Solve 3x² + 4x = 2. (2 points)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is a second order equation, it means that it has two possible answers and they are $x_1$ and $x_2$ .

The famous quadratic formula for solving any second order equation is the following:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4 ac}}{2a}\\x_{2}=\frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4 ac}}{2a}$

Where a is the coefficient of $x^2$ , b is the coefficient of x, and c is the free term. In other words,

$a = 3\\b=4\\c=-2$

as the equation should be in the following form:

$a x^2 + bx+c = 0$

Therefore the possible answer should be the following,

$\frac{-4 + \sqrt{4^2 - 4*3*(-2)}}{2*3}=\frac{-4 +\sqrt{16 + 24}}{6} =\frac{-4 + \sqrt{40}}{6}=\\ \frac{-4 + \sqrt{4*10}}{6} = \frac{-4 + 2\sqrt{10}}{6}$ $\frac{2*(-2 + \sqrt{10})}{2*3} = \frac{-2 + \sqrt{10}}{3}$

by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, we can deduce the following,

Given the equation 9x+3/4 y=6 and 2x+1/2 y=9, by what factor would you multiply the second equation to eliminate y and solve the

anyanavicka [17]

To eliminate a cariable in a system of equations, we multiply the variable by a factor that will make both coefficients of the variable to be equal.
Thus, we multiply the coefficient of y in the second equation by a factor that will make it equal to the coefficient of y in the first equation. i.e. multiply 1/2 by a factor that makes it equal to 3/4. and the factor is 3/2.
Therefore, the third option is the correct answer.
