First, subtract both sides by 25:
x^2 - 6x = -25
Because we're completing the square, we subtract both sides by 9:
x^2 - 6x - 9 = -34
(x - 3) = 5.831 (about)
x = 8.831
Answer: 76%
Explanation: 55/72.00 x __/100= 5,500
5,500 divided by 72.00= 76.3888889
If the TV is 70% off, then that means she paid 30% of the original cost. If 30% of the original cost is $120, then...
30% * x = 120
.30x = 120
x = 120/.30
x = 400
The original cost was $400
Answer:
a. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope, subtract the y's.
5 - -5 is 10.
Put that on the top of a fraction.
Subtract the x's.
3 - 1 is 2, put that on the bottom of the fraction.
So the slope is 10/2. This simplifies to 5 (because 10÷2 is 5).
The slope is 5.
