the sherman family mad a down payment of $18,375 for a new house they mortaged the remaining cost of $129,625 the interest paid for 30 years was $273,116 what was the total cost of the house

honestly this is a very poorly worded question...

it can be interpreted in several different ways

the cost of the house (for them to purchase it) was

$129,625 + $18,375 = $148,000

The total amount that they paid for the house (money spent)

was  

$129,625 + $18,375 + $273,116 = $421,116

all being said I think that the $148,000 is the answer that the question

is trying for you to figure out

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: what equations are there

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
