Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the original price be x

As per the question

  • ⇒x×70%=140

Solving the equation yields:

  • ⇒0.7x=140
  • ⇒0.7x/0.7=140/0.7
  • ⇒x=1400/7
  • ⇒x=200

In conclusion

the original price of the jacket was $200

A car that travels along the highway to Denver at a steady speed. When it begins, it is 300 miles from Denver. After 3 hours, it
umka21 [38]

Answer: y=-40x+300

Step-by-step explanation:

This car follows a line, hence its motion can be modeled by the Line equation.

In fact, we already have two points of the line, if we call x the time in hours and y the traveled distance in miles:

Point 1: (x_{1},y_{1})=(0,300)

Since we are told the car's initial position is 300 miles in the time 0 h

Point 2: (x_{2},y_{2})=(3,180)

Since we are told the car's final position is 180 miles after 3h

<u />

<u>Let's find the Slope m: </u>

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m=-40  This is the slope of the line

Now, the equation of the line is:

y=mx+b

We already know the slope, now we have to find the intersection point with the y-axis (b) with any of the given points. Let's choose Point 1: (x_{1},y_{1})=(0,300)

300=-40(0)+b

Isolating b:

b=-300

Then, the equation of the line is:

y=-40 x+300

Using addition rules, show how to add the two real numbers. 7 + (-14)
Debora [2.8K]
Hello there! Using the rules of addition, we can identify that when adding a positive to a negative number, the result shifts toward the positive side but takes the sign of the greater number. It will be demonstrated in this problem to simplify how problems like this are solved:

Step 1: Rewrite the problem

-14 + 7 = ?

Step 2: Since we’re adding 7 to a negative number, that means the negative number decreases by the quantity it’s being added by.

This means we would have to really subtract 7 from 14 to get 7.

Step 3: Keep the sign of the greater number

Since 14 is greater than 7, we will keep the negative sign in accordance.

Step 4: Simplify

-14 + 7 = -7

Using the rules of addition, we will find that -14 + 7 = -7. If you need additional help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
