Answer: country carpets are cheaper
Step-by-step explanation:
The third one 02 2/5 is the answer
The answer is C.
To solve these types of equations you first need to make sure that you equation is equal to 0. In this case all of the numbers are already on the same side so no work needs to be done there. Then we can get a, b and c values for the quadratic equation by looking at the coefficients.
a = 4 (number attached to x^2)
b = -6 (number attached to x)
c = 1 (number with no variable attached)
Now we can put this into the quadratic equation.


Answer:
$(80.5x + 69)
Step-by-step Explanation:
Recall, distributive property of multiplication can simply be expressed as follows, x(y + z) = xy + xz or x(y - z). Where x, y, and z could be any number.
Now, let's use the distributive property to show the total costs of plants Gloria decides to buy as an expression and also simplify it.
Thus, Gloria buys:
4 ferns = 4(0.5x - 3) = 4(0.5x) - 4(3) = $(2x - 12)
2 palms = 2(10x - 2.50) = 2(10x) - 2(2.50) = $(20x - 5.00)
10 lilies = 10(5 + 0.25x) = 10(5) + 10(0.25x) = $(50 + 2.5x)
8 shrubs = 8(4.50 + 7x) = 8(4.50) + 8(7x) = $(36 + 56x)
Total cost of the plants = (2x - 12) + (20x - 5) + (50 + 2.5x) + (36+ 56x)
Open the parentheses and then simplify:
Total cost = 2x - 12 + 20x - 5 + 50 + 2.5x + 36 + 56x
= 2x + 20x + 2.5x + 56x - 12 - 5 + 50 + 36
Total cost = $(80.5x + 69)
X² - 14x + 33 = 0 is in the form ax² + bx + c = 0. We will need this for the second step.
Subtract 33 from both sides
x² - 14x = - 33
Divide the b term by 2 and then square the result. Then add that to both sides.
- 14 / 2 is - 7. (- 7)² = 49. Add that to both sides
x² - 14x + 49 = - 33 + 49
Combine the constants and factor the trinomial
(x - 7)² = 16
Square root both sides
x - 7 = +/- 4
or
x - 7 = - 4 and x - 7 = 4
You have to place a plus-minus statement because (- 4)² and 4² both equal 16.
Now we solve for x in each equation. Add 7 to both sides to isolate our variable.
x = 3 and x = 11
