Answer:

$740.00

Step-by-step explanation:

85% of x is 629

Translate into algebra. Use a decimal in place of the percent:

.85x = 629

Divide by .85

x = 740

This answer makes sense because the regular price should be a little higher than the sale price. If they are paying 85% they're only getting 15% off.

Check:

740×.85 = 629

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 174 ft. The field is a rectangle, and the length is 45 ft longer than th
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

21 ft by 66 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

P = 2(L+W)............... Equation 1

Where P = Perimeter of the playing Field, L = Length of the playing Field, W = width of the playing Field.

If the Length of the Field is 45 ft longer than the width,

L = 45+W............ Equation 2

Substitute Equation 2 into equation 1

P = 2(45+W+W)

P = 90+4W............. Equation 3

Given: P = 174 ft.

Substitute into equation 3

174 = 90+4W

4W = 174-90

4W = 84

W = 84/4

W = 21 ft.

Substituting the value of W into equation 2

L = 45+21

L = 66 ft.

Hence the dimensions of the playing field is 21 ft by 66 ft

The first term of a geometric sequence is 300 and the common ratio is 2 What is the 7th term of the sequence
xxMikexx [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

s1 = 300

s2 = s1 × 2 = 300 × 2 = 600

s3 = s2 × 2 = s1 × 2² = 1200

sn = sn-1 × 2 = s1 × 2^(n-1)

s7 = 300 × 2⁶ = 300 × 64 = 19,200

I really am confused on how to write a proof.
kvasek [131]

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, the opposite sides will be parallel and equal,

\begin{gathered} AB=CD \\ BC=AD \end{gathered}

Consider that AC acts as a transversal to the parallel lines AB and CD, so we can write,

\begin{gathered} \angle CAD=\angle ACB\text{ (Alternate Interior Angles)} \\ BC=AD\text{ (Opposite sides of parallelogram)} \\ \angle ADB=\angle CBD\text{ (Alternate Interior Angles)} \end{gathered}

So by the ASA criteria, the triangle AED is congruent to the triangle CEB,

Then the corresponding parts of the triangles will be equal,

\begin{gathered} AE=CE \\ BE=DE \end{gathered}

Hence Proved.

Describe what solving a trigonometric equation is.
AleksAgata [21]
That's an awfully broad question.  Could you not be more specific?

A basic example:  Suppose you are told that sin theta = 1/2.  Solving this equation would require finding the measure of the angle theta.  In this case the answer would be "30 degrees," or "pi/6 radians."
