Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): <br> -11x^2 + 5x - 3 = 0
fenix001 [56]
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                   x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                   x = [ -5 ± √((5)^2 - 4(-11)(-3)) ] / ( 2(-11) )
                   x = [-5 ± √(25 - (132) ) ] / ( -22 )
                   x = [-5 ± √(-107) ] / ( -22)
Since we conclude that √-107 is nonreal, the answer to this question is that there are no real solutions.

The original price was $20,000 the sales price was $18,000 what is the percent discount
lord [1]

Answer:

10 percent :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 20000 × 10/100

Discount = 20000 x 0.1

You save = $2,000.00

Final Price = Original Price - Discount

Final Price = 20000 - 2000

Final Price = $18,000.00

Alex makes $61,992 per year and pays about 25% of his gross monthly income in federal and state taxes. He wants to find an apart
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Rent each month = $1421

Amount left after rent and taxes monthly = $2453

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross salary; $61,992 per year

His gross pay per month will be;

61992/12 = $5166

Now, the standard recommended rule in budgeting for house rent is to use between 25% to 30% of your monthly pay for rent.

Now, let's adopt an average of 27.5%

Thus;

Amount he can afford for rent each month = 27.5% × 5166 = $1420.65 ≈ $1421

We are told he pays 25% of his gross monthly income in federal and state taxes.

Thus, amount spent on taxes each month = 25% × 5166 = $1291.5 ≈ $1292

Thus, amount he will gave left after rent and taxes = 5166 - (1421 + 1292) = $2453
