Step-by-step explanation:
It seems here that they are asking us to solve for x
to do this we first need to factor
Since we can't factor this using the normal method we can instead do this
x^2 -4x-17=0
add 4 to both sides as it is a perfect square
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 17 +4
(x-2)^2 = sqrt 21
x-2 = ± 4.58
x -2 = 4.58 x-2 = -4.58
x= 6.58 x=-2.58
Or just say x=2+√21 or x=2−√21
Answer:
7 shirts
Step-by-step explanation:
You first have to subtract 22 from 80, since that's how much she already spent, 80-22=58. Now you have to do 58/8, but since 8 doesn't divide evenly into 58, you have to go with the closet multiple of 8 which would be 56. 7x8=56, so Jenna can buy a maximum number of 7 shirts.
The answer is 2-7=5 is the answer
Answer:
112 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Let T be the total number of students in the band.
From the question,
We were told that 37.5% of the total owns their individual instruments and this amount to 42 students
The total number of students can calculated for as follows:
37.5% x T = 42
37.5/100 x T = 42
Cross multiply to express in linear form
37.5 x T = 100 x 42
Divide both side by 37.5
T = (100 x 42) /37.5
T = 112
Therefore, there are 112 students in the band
