Solve for all values of x by factoring.

x^2-20x+72=-3x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find all values of x by factoring, move all the terms to one side, setting them to zero. So, add both sides by -3x to move the term:

[tex]x^2-20x + 72 = -3x\\x^2 -17x+72 = 0[/tex]

2) Now, factor the expression. The product of -8 and -9 equals 72, and adding the two numbers together equals -17. So, the factored expression must be (x-9) (x-8):

[tex]x^2-17x + 72 = 0 \\(x-9)(x-8)= 0[/tex]

3) Look at the expressions in the parentheses. Whatever values of x that makes each expression equal 0 will be the answer. Thus, x must equal 9 and 8.

The midpoint of overline AB is M(0, - 7) . If coordinates of A are (- 2, - 6) , what are the coordinates of B?

Answers

Given:

The midpoint of overline AB is M(0, - 7) .

The coordinates of A are (- 2, - 6).

To find:

The coordinates of point B.

Solution:

Let the coordinates of point B are (a,b).

Midpoint formula:

[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)[/tex]

The midpoint of overline AB is M(0, - 7). Using the midpoint formula, we get

[tex]M=\left(\dfrac{-2+a}{2},\dfrac{-6+b}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex](0,-7)=\left(\dfrac{-2+a}{2},\dfrac{-6+b}{2}\right)[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

[tex]\dfrac{-2+a}{2}=0[/tex]

[tex]-2+a=0[/tex]

[tex]a=2[/tex]

And,

[tex]\dfrac{-6+b}{2}=-7[/tex]

[tex]-6+b=-14[/tex]

[tex]b=-14+6[/tex]

[tex]b=-8[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (2,-8).

8th grade teachers and students from M.I.T went on a field trip to an zoo. Tickets

museum where the tickets cost $20.00 each for teachers and $8.50 each for
students, and the group paid $156.50 in total.
Find the number of teachers and students on the field trips.
A 4 Teachers and 9 Students
4 Teachers and 10 Students
3 Teachers and 9 Students
D None of the above

Answers

As there are multiple answers going with trial and error seems good in this case.

A

5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 20.00

3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 31.5

20.00 + 31.5 = 51.5

B

5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 20.00

3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 35.00

20.00 + 35.00 = 55.00

C

5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 15.00

3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 31.5

15.00 + 31.5 =46.5

Knowing that for the first one all A,B, and C were wrong we can determine that D is the answer. But wait if I made one mistake and didn't understand if $156.5 is equivalent to $156.50 that would mean A is correct.

Always recheck your answers and good luck,

Jon

Mean is adding all the numbers then dividing the answer you go from the numbers.

Answer:

first question: decrease - second question: 34

Step-by-step explanation:

first question: to find the mean, you need to add all of the numbers together and divide the sum of those by the amount of numbers you added together. in this question, it would be

73+79+96+84=332 -> 332/4=83 is the mean for the 1st set of numbers

(1)   (2)  (3)   (4)

the question asks what happens after the next test score is added in, for this, you will do the same steps as before except you add in the 80 for her fifth test and then divide by 5 instead of 4, because you have another number being added.

73+79+96+84+80=412 -> 412/5=82.4 is the mean for the 2nd set of numbers

the second set of numbers, after the fifth test score is added in, is lower than the first set of numbers. therefore, the mean decreases

second question: same concept, except on a dot plot. a dot above a number means that there is one of those numbers that should be counted. this means since there are 2 dots above the 30, there are 2 30s being added to the rest of the numbers. in this dot plot, the numbers being added are

30+30+32+32+34+38+38+38=272 -> 272/8=34 is the mean

The total cost of a compact disc, including a 6% sales tax, is $14.31.

$13.45
$13.44

Answers

It's 13.50 I'm pretty sure
$13.50 • 1.06 is $14.31

The cost of a compact disc before the sale tax is $13.45. The correct option is B.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is defined as representing any number with respect to 100. It is denoted by the sign %. The percentage stands for "out of 100." Imagine any measurement or object being divided into 100 equal bits.

Given that the total cost of a compact disc, including a 6% sales tax, is $14.31.

The cost before the sale tax will be calculated as,

Cost = 14.31 x ( 1 - 0.06 )

Cost = 14.31 x 0.94

Cost = $13.45
