Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = number

x³ - x² = 2x

x³- x² - 2x = 0

x(x² - x - 2) = 0

x(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1, 0, 2

the only positive solution is the number 2

alex41 [277]

Answer: The percent of the total was spent on veterinarian bills is 27.70% ( approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, In 2011, Americans spent approximately $50.9 billion on their pets.

i.e. Total amount they spent on pets = $50.9 billion

Amount spent for veterinarian bills.  = $14.1 billion was for veterinarian bills.

Then, the percent of the total was spent on veterinarian bills would be :

\dfrac{\text{Amount spent for veterinarian bills. }}{\text{Total amount they spent on pets}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{14.1}{50.9}\times100\\\\=27.7013752456\approx27.70\%

Hence, the percent of the total was spent on veterinarian bills is 27.70% (approx).

What is 20% by 37 decreased
Ghella [55]

Answer:

<u><em>37 decreased by 20% is </em></u><u><em>29.6.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>To do this, what we do is simply </em></u><u><em>take 20% of 37 and subtract it from 37.</em></u>

<u><em>20% of 37.</em></u><u><em> A trick to easily figure this out is </em></u><u><em>multipling 37 by 20 and dividing by 100.</em></u>

<u><em>37*20 = 740</em></u>

<u><em>740 / 100 = 7.40</em></u>

<u><em>37 - 7.40 = 29.6</em></u>

<u><em>37 decreased by 20% is </em></u><u><em>29.6.</em></u>

Katia and Thomasina play a computer game and record these scores. Katia: 8, 6, -4, -7, 2, 0, 3 Thomasina: -11, 0, 8, 7, 5, -7, 1
suter [353]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

there is no factorization of y^2 -2y +35 in real numbers

Thomasina correctly determined two factors of 35 that differ by 2, but that is not what is needed here. For this problem, she needs two factors of 35 that have a sum of 2.* (There aren't any real-number factors that meet that condition.)

__

The factorization in complex numbers would be ...

 = (y -1 -i√34)(y -1 +i√34)

_____

* Technically, she needs two factors of 35 with a sum of -2. Both factors would have to be negative.
