Answer:
x = 8
or
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x² - 12x = 96
Divide both sides by 3
x² - 4x = 32
Add 4 to both sides
x² - 4x + 4 = 32 + 4
(x - 2)² = 6²
Find the square root of both sides
√(x - 2)² = √6²
x - 2 = +/- 6
x - 2 = +6 or -6
x - 2=+6
x=6+2
x=8
x - 2=-6
x=-6+2
x=-4
x = 8
or
x = -4
Answer:
<em>3/8 of the box cereal</em>
Step-by-step explanation: First you must convert 3/4, 1/8, and 1/4 so they have to same denominator. Four can go into eight two times, so you must multiply the numerator by two. So your new fractions are 6/8, 1/8, and 2/8. Now you must subtract 1/8 and 2/8 from 6/8. When you subtract 1/8 from 6/8 you get 5/8. Now subtract 2/8 from 5/8 and you get <em>3/8. </em>That is how you get the answer, I hope this helps you.
This is because Andrea converted the Percentage wrong.
to Convert a Percent to a Decimal, she should have divided by 100
so 5 divided by 100 = 0.05 [not 0.5]
Andrea should have multiplied 300 by 0.05 instead to get the right answer
quickly finding 10% of a number means to simply move the decimal to the left one place
so 10% of 300 is 30
since 5% is half of 10%
half of 30 is 15
and so 5% of 300 is 15
Answer:
6 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1 cup of rice is added to 2 3/4 water
We are to determine the Amount of water to be to 2 1/2 cups of rice
Let the unknown number for water be x
So let's solve
1 cup of rice=11/4 water
5/2 cup of rice=x water
Cross multiply
x=5/2×11/4
x=55/8
X=6 7/8
Therefore,6 7/8 water is needed
