SOLUTION:

Case: Percentages

Method:

The sale price after 30% off is $6800

Let the original price be 'x'

30% off means 70% of the original price

$\begin{gathered} \frac{70}{100}\times x=6800 \\ 0.7x=6800 \\ x=\frac{6800}{0.7} \\ x=9714.2857 \end{gathered}$

Final answer: (Nearest cents)

The original price was $9714.29

Two of the vertices of a rectangle are (1, −6) and (−8, −6). If the rectangle has a perimeter of 26 units, what are the coordina

pantera1 [17]

Answer: $(x_1,y_1)=(1,-2)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(-8,-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Co ordinates of vertices(1,-6) and (-8,-6)

When two points is given then Length of two points is given by

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

$L=\sqrt{\left ( 1-\left ( -8\right )\right )^2+\left ( -6+6\right )^2}$

$L=\sqrt{9^2}=9 units$

Perimeter of rectangle is =26 units

Let the other side be x

thus

$2\left ( x+9\right )=26$

x+9=13

x=4 units

therefore to get the other two co ordinates

such that the length of that side is 4 units is

$(x_1,y_1)=(1,-2)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(-8,-2)$

Horizontal distance will remain same only vertical distance will change in given co ordinates to obtain the remaining two co ordinates

To verify the above two distance between two points must be 13 units

In a class, 45 students are taking the SAT exam.The number of boys is 9 more than the number of girls.How many girls and boys ar

maxonik [38]

The equation would be
g + (g + 9) = 45
2g + 9 = 45
- 9
2g = 36
÷ 2
g = 18
18 + 9 = 27
Girls: 18
Boys: 27
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Margarita [4]

Hello :
<span>
y=5x+8
y= -4x-1
5x+8 = -4x-1
9x =-9
x = -1
y = 5(-1)+8 = 3
</span><span>ordered pair is the solution to the system : ( -1 , 3)</span>
