1.27, -6.27 to the nearest hundredth,

or if you require it in exact form,

-2.5 + √14.25,   -2.5 - √14.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -5x + 8

x^2 + 5x  = 8

Competing the square:

(x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 = 8

(x + 2.5) = 14.25

x + 2.5 = +/-√14.25

x = -2.5 + √14.25,   -2.5 - √14.25

x = -2.5 + 3.77,  -2.5 - 3.77

= 1.27, -6.27.

a² + b²= c²

24² + 7² = c²

c= 25

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
