Minus 12x both sides
0=5x^2-12x+9
use quadratic formula
for 0=ax^2+bx+c
x=
given
5x^2-12x+9
a=5
b=-12
c=9
remember: i=√-1
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
-4/9/-1/3=4/3
HOPE THIS HELPED! IM NOT THAT GREAT AT MATH! SORRY IF IM WRONG!
Answer:
The answer is 84
Step-by-step explanation:
(-7)*(3)*(-4)
negatives cancel out: 7*3*4
Simplify: 84
Answer:
to do this we have to divide 43 by 83
0.51807228915
so the frequency is about 51.8%
