Answer:
See below in exact form
or
2.42, -12.42 to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 10x - 13 = 17
(x + 5)^2 - 25 - 13 = 17
(x + 5)^2 = 17 + 38 = 55
x + 5 = +/- √55
x = -5 + √55, -5 - √55.
First, you need to take 40% off of the original price ($68) to find the discount. to do this, multiply 68 by 0.4 (.4 is 40% in decimal form). You should get $27. 20. Next, you subtract this from 68- keep in mind that we found the discount, not the actual price. 68- 27.20= 40.8. Now, we multiply this by 20%, or 0.2- you should get 8.16. Subtract that from 40.8 to get <u>$32.64</u>.
If you divide 380 by 20, you get 19. To check this, multiply 20 x 19 to see 380. Hope this helps :D
