Simplifying
8.7 = 3.5m + -2.5(5.4 + -6m)
8.7 = 3.5m + (5.4 * -2.5 + -6m * -2.5)
8.7 = 3.5m + (-13.5 + 15m)
Reorder the terms:
8.7 = -13.5 + 3.5m + 15m
Combine like terms: 3.5m + 15m = 18.5m
8.7 = -13.5 + 18.5m
Solving
8.7 = -13.5 + 18.5m
Solving for variable 'm'.
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-18.5m' to each side of the equation.
8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5 + 18.5m + -18.5m
Combine like terms: 18.5m + -18.5m = 0.0
8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5 + 0.0
8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5
Add '-8.7' to each side of the equation.
8.7 + -8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5 + -8.7
Combine like terms: 8.7 + -8.7 = 0.0
0.0 + -18.5m = -13.5 + -8.7
-18.5m = -13.5 + -8.7
Combine like terms: -13.5 + -8.7 = -22.2
-18.5m = -22.2
Divide each side by '-18.5'.
m = 1.2
Simplifying
m = 1.2
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
You can test if a triangle is right-angled by using Pythagoras' Theorem.
So:

16 + 56.25 = 72.25
They do in fact add up so this triangle is right angled.
Answer:
a - 6%
b - $7.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer for a
the only items that had sales tax were $3.00 and $0.50. The total tax for the both was $0.21 so you can find what percent 0.21 is of 3.00 + 0.50 o 3.50. Do this by dividing the percent you are looking for, 0.21, by what it is the percent of 3.50. 0.21 / 3.50 = 0.06. then you multiply the number you got, in this case 0.06 by 100 to find the percentage so it is 6%
The answer for b
Here you can just take the subtotal, $13.00, and subtract all the other prices and you will be left with the price of the top. 13.00 - 3.00 - 2.00 - 0.50 = 7.50. So the answer is $7.50
Twelve and three hundred and seventy five thousandths.
I've done the first four questions. Use this method to answer the rest. For an odd number of objects find the cost of one and multiply by how many you are asked to find.
