Answer:
In 12 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = year when average the average cost of owning a freezer would be less than $117
($850 + $40a) / a < $117
$850 + $40a < $117a
collecting like terms
$850 < $77a
a = 11.04 months
Your x values are 1.24 and -0.404.
First you need to make the equation equal 0, and you can do this simply by subtracting 5x, so you get
6x² - 3 - 5x = 0
The quadratic formula is (-b +- √b² - 4ac)/2a, where a is the x², b is the x, and c is the value. This means we can just substitute it in.
You find the value of the part inside the square root, which is -5² - 4 × 6 × -3 = 97. Now we can use this to substitute in to (5 +- √97)/12. We can do it with the plus sign, and get 1.24, and then with the subtract sign and get -0.404.
I hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
Will bought several books that cost $ 2.50 each and received a $ 2 discount on the total bill. If he paid $ 10.50, how many books did he buy ?
2.50x - 2.00 = 10.50
2.50x = 10.50 + 2.00
2.50x = 12.50
x = 12.50/2.50
x = 5....he bought 5 books
Answer:
(a)r=15-b
11.9 Inches
(b)See attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the candle =15 inch
Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches)
Let r represent the remaining length of the candle (in inches).
Therefore:
(a) r+b=15
r=15-b
When b=3,1 Inches
Remaining Length, r=15-3.1=11.9 Inches
(b)The graph showing te relationship between r and b is shown below.
r is plotted on the y-axis while b is plotted on the x-axis as labelled.
