A new television set was recently purchased for a common Room and a resident Hall for $446.90 including tax. If the tax rate is 9%, find the price of the television set before taxes.

The price of the tv before tax is 410

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = price of tv before tax

tax = x*  9%

tax = .09x

The total cost is price of tv before tax plus tax

total cost = x + .09x

total cost = 1.09x

446.90 = 1.09x

Divide each side by 1.09

446.90/1.09 = 1.09x/1.09

410 = x

The price of the tv before tax is 410

step-by-step explanation:

it's 15

"standard form:

3x2 + 14x − 10 = 0

solutions based on quadratic formula:

x1   = −14 − √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 − 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ −5.296

x2   = −14 + √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 + 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ 0.629
