Answers

Answer 1

Sol:

3x-15x=-5-9

or,-12x=-14

or,x=14/12

or,x=1.667

so, x=1.667

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]3x+9=15x-5[/tex]

[tex]3x+9-9=15x-5-9[/tex]

[tex]3x=15x-14[/tex]

[tex]3x-15x=15x-14-15x[/tex]

[tex]-12x=-14[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-12x}{-12}=\frac{-14}{-12}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{7}{6}[/tex]

or

A sweater at Hollister costs $42. After-tax the sweater is $44.94. What is the sales tax rate?

Answers

Answer:

2.00$ and 94¢is the tac

Tax rate = 7%

What Is a Tax Rate?

A tax rate is the percentage at which an individual or corporation is taxed. The United States (both the federal government and many of the states) uses a progressive tax rate system, in which the percentage of tax charged increases as the amount of the person's or entity's taxable income increases.

Given,

Hollister costs = $42

After tax Hollister costs = $44.94.

tax amount = 44.94.- 42 = 2.94

Tax rate = (After tax Hollister costs - Hollister costs)/Hollister costs

Tax rate = (44.94.- 42)/42

Tax rate = 2.94/42

Tax rate = 0.07

Tax rate = 7%

therefore, the tax rate for the sweater is 7%

4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

[tex]\sqrt{a}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{b}[/tex] ⇔ [tex]\sqrt{ab}[/tex]

Simplify the radicals

[tex]\sqrt{27}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{9(3)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{9}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = 3[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{48}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{16(3)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = 4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25(3)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Now mean is calculated as

mean = [tex]\frac{sum}{count}[/tex] , then

mean = [tex]\frac{3\sqrt{3}+4\sqrt{3}+5\sqrt{3} }{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12\sqrt{3} }{3}[/tex] = 4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Why is 3+(-5) equal to -2

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's an example: 3/5 divided by 7/8.

   3/5

  _____

   7/8

Let's do it WRONG, to see why that's bad. Here's our example, multiplied by something that ISN'T equal to one:

   3/5      1       3/5      3/5

  _____ * _____ = _______ = ______ = 3/5

   7/8     8/7     56/56      1

Multiplying 7/8 by 8/7 turns our denominator into 1, which seems helpful. But it leaves us with the same numerator we started with. Can this be right? Is 3/5 divided by 7/8 equal to 3/5 divided by one, so that 7/8 = 1? Oops, that has to be wrong.

For comparison, here's the RIGHT way:

   3/5     8/7     24/35     24/35

  _____ * _____ = _______ = _______ = 24/35

   7/8     8/7     56/56       1

In this case, what we multiplied by, 8/7 divided by 8/7, is equal to one, because anything divided by itself is equal to one. But 1 over 8/7, which we used up above in the first example, is NOT equal to one, which means that if we use 1 over 8/7, we change our question. We may get an answer, but it won't be the right one.

You are ordering shirts for the math club at your school. Short-sleeved shirts cost $10 each. Long-sleeved shirts cost $12 each. You have a budget of $300 for the shirts. The equation 10x+12y=300 models the total cost, where x is the number of short-sleeved shirts and y is the number of long-sleeved shirts.

Answers

Question:

a. Graph the equation.

b. Twelve students decide they want short-sleeved shirts. How many long-sleeved shirts can you order.

Answer:

See attachment for graph

12 long-sleeved shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]10x + 12y = 300[/tex]

Plotting the graph:

Set x = 0

[tex]10(0) + 12y = 300[/tex]

[tex]12y = 300[/tex]

[tex]y = 300/12[/tex] --- divide through by 12

[tex]y = 25[/tex]

Set x = 0

[tex]10x + 12(0) = 300[/tex]

[tex]10x = 300[/tex]

[tex]x = 300/10[/tex] --- divide through by 10

[tex]x = 30[/tex]

So, the graph will be plotted using: (0, 25) and (30, 0)

See attachment for graph

Determine y when x = 12

[tex]10x + 12y = 300[/tex]

[tex]10(12) + 12y = 300[/tex]

[tex]120 +12y = 300[/tex]

[tex]12y = 300 - 120[/tex] --- collect like terms

[tex]12y = 180[/tex]

[tex]y = 180/12[/tex] -- solve for y

[tex]y = 15[/tex]

Find the length of side BC.

Answers

Answer:

BC ≈ 11.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin58° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BC}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BC}{14}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 14 )

14 × sin58° = BC , thus

BC ≈ 11.9 cm ( to 1 dec. place )

The length of the side BC of the triangle is 11.58 units.

What is trigonometry?

The branch of mathematics that sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle is termed trigonometry.

The trigonometric functions, also known as a circular, angle, or goniometric functions in mathematics, are real functions that link the angle of a right-angled triangle to the ratios of its two side lengths.

Given that the angle of the triangle is 58 and the hypotenuse is 14 cm.

The side BC will be calculated as,

14 × sin (58°) = BC

BC = 11.58 units
