Depending on what calculator you have, this should be pretty simple, divide the World lottery by her annual salary to determine how many times as large it is.
The answer is approximately 209,742.53 times as large.
Answer:
23,800 people
Step-by-step explanation:
what is 5 % of 14,000- 700( 0.05 times 14,000)
700 times 14 is 9,800
9800 + 14000 is
Either B or C should work. I would go with B, though.
I would add 7 to get ...
... 2x² = 16
then divide by 2 to get
... x² = 8
Now, I would take the square root, recognizing that both positive and negative values will solve the problem.
... x = ±√8
The root can be simplified, so we have ...
... x = ±2√2
_____
The above method seemed the most obvious method to me. One could use the quadratic formula, but that seems to involve more operations.
... 2x² -16 = 0 . . . . subtract 9
... x = (-0 ± √(0² -4·2·(-16)))/(2·2) . . . . put the coefficients into the formula
... x = ±(√128)/4 = ±√8 = ±2√2 . . . . . simplify the result
