$\bold{\boxed{\huge{\blue{\underline{Answer }}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}$

$\sf{The\: population\: is\: decreased \:by\: 10 percent }$

$\sf{There\: were \: only \: 1800 \: people \: left}$

$\bold{\underline{ To\: Find :- }}$

$\sf{we \: have \: to \: find\: original \: population? }$

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :- }}$

$\sf{Let \: the \: total \: population\: be \: x }$

$\sf{\underline{ Therefore }}$

$\sf{According \: to \: the \: question }$

$\sf{ x - 10/100 = 1800 }$

$\sf{ 100x - 10/100 = 1800}$

$\sf{ 100x - 10 = 1800 × 100}$

$\sf{100x - 10 = 180000}$

$\sf{ 100x = 180000 + 10}$

$\sf{ x = 180010/100}$

$\sf{ x = 1800.1 }$

$\bold{\pink{Hence , The\: original \:population \:of \: the\: village \:is \:1800.1 }}$

1. A particular shade of orange paint has 2 cups of yellow

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

6 cups of yellow paint and 9 cups of red paint are required for 3 batches of orange paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A particular shade of orange paint has 2 cups of yellow paint for every 3 cups of red paint.

We need to find the numbers of cups of yellow and red paint needed for 3 batches of orange paint.

For one batches of orange paint we need 2 cups of yellow and 3 cups of red.

So for 3 batches of orange paint we need:

2×3 = 6 cups of yellow paint.

3×3 = 9 cups of red paint.

The required number line is shown below.

Factor the following trinomial. (Hint: Solve the equations first.)<br><br> x²-2x-2

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$(x-(1+\sqrt{3}))(x-(1-\sqrt{3}))$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^{2} -2x-2=0$

so

$a=1\\b=-2\\c=-2$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-(-2)(+/-)\sqrt{-2^{2}-4(1)(-2)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{2(+/-)\sqrt{12}} {2}$

$x=\frac{2(+/-)2\sqrt{3}} {2}$

$x_1=\frac{2(+)2\sqrt{3}} {2}=1+\sqrt{3}$

$x_2=\frac{2(-)2\sqrt{3}} {2}=1-\sqrt{3}$

therefore

$x^{2} -2x-2=(x-(1+\sqrt{3}))(x-(1-\sqrt{3}))$
