How to solve-2(p+-8)+-2=6

natka813 [3]

Answer:

p=4

Step-by-step explanation:

first change all the addition signs in to minus if the numbers are negative. ex. p+-8 = p-8.

So the equation equals to -2(p-8)-2=6.

Next +2 to both sides to cancel out the -2 and you get -2(p-8)=8

Divide both sides by -2 and you get (p-8)=-4. At this point you can remove the parenthesis. So the equation is p-8=-4

Finally +8 to both sides and you get p=4

1. COST Mr. Rivera wants to purchase a riding lawn

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

p(x) = 0.85x

t(x) = 1.065x

(t o p)(x) = 0.9x

$2700

Step-by-step explanation:

If the marked price is $x, then the function p(x) that gives the price of the riding lawn mower after 15% discount will be

$p(x) = x(1 - \frac{15}{100}) = 0.85x$

where x is the marked price.

Now, the function that gives the total cost with sales tax will be given by

$t(x) = x(1 + \frac{6.5}{100}) = 1.065x$

where x is the discounted price.

Therefore, the composite function that gives the total cost of the riding lawn mower on sale is given by

(t o p)(x) = 1.065(0.85x) = 0.9x ............ (1)

where x is the marked price.

If the marked price x = $3000, then Mr. Rivera has to pay for the riding lawn mower, from equation (1),

(t o p)(3000) = 0.9 × 3000 = 2700 dollars. (Answer)

Regular hexagon ABCDEF has vertices at A(4, 4!3), B(8, 4!3), C(10, 2!3), D(8, 0), E(4, 0) and F(2, 2!3).

marissa [1.9K]

Since the given hexagon is a regular hexagon all it's sides will be of equal length. Now, we know that the Area of any regular hexagon is given by:

$A=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} a^2$

Where $A$ is the area of the regular hexagon

$a$ is the side length of the regular hexagon

Also, it's Perimeter is given by:

$P=6a$

Thus, all that we need to do is to find the side length of any one of the sides and to do that let us have a look at at the data of vertices points given and find out which points are definitely adjacent to each other and are also easy to calculate.

A quick search will yield that D(8, 0) and E(4, 0) are definitely adjacent to each other.

Please check the attached file here for a better understanding of the diagram of the original regular hexagon. Points D and E indeed are adjacent to each other.

Let us now find the distance between the points D and E using the distance formula which is as:

$d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

Where $d$ is the distance.

$(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are the coordinates of points D and E respectively. (please note that interchanging the values of the coordinates will not alter the distance $d$ )
