The equation that can be used to determine the tax rate, x is ;44.31 = 42 + (x% of 42) where x = 5.5%

<h3>How to write equation</h3>

  • Cost of a shirt = $12.50
  • Cost of each shorts = $14.75

  • Cost of two shorts = 2 × $14.75

= $29.5

  • Total cost = $12.50 + $29.5

= $42

  • Tax rate = x%

  • Total amount paid = $44.31

Total = total cost + x% of total cost

44.31 = 42 + (x% of 42)

44.31 = 42 + 42x/100

44.31 - 42 = 42x/100

2.31 = 42x / 100

x = 2.31 ÷ 42/100

= 2.31 × 100 /42

= 231/42

= 5.5%

Suppose y varies inversely with x. Write an equation if y=-3 when x=17
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

y = -51 ÷ x

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard format of a inversely proportional equation goes by the format of y = k ÷ x. The question asks us to write an equation if y = -3 when x = 17 and y varies inversely with x.

So we substitute the values y = -3 and x = 17 in the equation y = k ÷ x

K = constant, we have to work this out

-3 = k ÷ 17

-3 × 17 = k

k = -3 × 17

k = -51

k = -51 So then we put this back into the original y = k ÷ x to find our final equation which is y = -51 ÷ x

PLS HELP!! URGENT!!<br>PLS HELP ASAP​
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

a.

perimeter of rectangular = 2 times length + 2 times wide = 2L + 2W = 2 (L + W)

since L is x m and W is y meter, then

perimeter = 2 (L + W) = 2 (x + y)

p = 2(x + y)

<em>(the correct is actually this one</em>

<em>70 ≤ 2(x+y) ≤ 96</em>

b. minimum perimeter

to find minimum perimeter, use the minimum length (which is 20) and minimum wide (which is 15)

p(min) = 2 * ( x(min) + y(min))

p(min) = 2 * (20 + 15)

p(min) = 2 * (35) = 70

c. maximum perimeter

to find maximum perimeter, use the maximum length (which is 30) and maximum wide (which is 18)

p(miax) = 2 * ( x(max) + y(max))

p(max) = 2 * (30 + 18)

p(max) = 2 * (48) = 96 m

Consider the right triangle ABC given below: The altitude divides triangle ABC into two smaller right triangles, and all three t
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

x =8

y = 4sqrt(2)

z = 4sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest one to calculate is x

If it is a 45 -45-90 degree triangle then AB = BC=x

Since AB =8  then BC =8  and x=8

The next easiest to calculate is z

If it is a 45 -45-90 degree triangle then AD = BD=z

Using the Pythagorean theorem

z^2 +z^2 = 8^2

2z^2 =64

Divide by 2

x^2 = 32

Taking the square root of each side

z = sqrt(16)sqrt(2)

z=4sqrt(2)

Finally, we can find y

If it is a 45 -45-90 degree triangle then BD = DC

BD =z =4 sqrt(2) = DC = y

Therefore y =4 sqrt(2)
