The total amount would be $54.25.

Since you would convert 8.5% to a decimal, which is 0.085, and multiply it by 50 to get the result 4.25. Then add that sales tax amount to your original amount of $50, and you get $54.25

Triangle abc is congruent to triangle xyz. angle a measures 50 degrees angle b measure 2 x plus 40 degrees and angle z measures

Anarel [89]

Because these triangles are congruent, then angle a is the same degree measure as angle x; angle b is the same as y; and angle c is the same as z. We also know that, because of the Triangle Angle-sum Theorem, all the angles of a triangle have to add up to equal 180 degrees. So for us that means that a+b+c(which is also z) = 180. 50 + 2x + 40 + 4x + 8 = 180. Combining like terms we have 6x + 98 = 180. Subbtracting 98 from both sides gives us 6x = 82 and x = 13 2/3

The mayor gets elected every four years. Treasurer gets elected every six years. Both were elected this year. How many years bef

aleksandrvk [35]

<h3>There are 11 years before both the elections happen in the same year.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The mayor gets selected once in every 4 years.

So, the number of years the mayor elections takes place

= 1, 4 ,8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28,....

Now, the Treasurer gets selected once in every 6 years.

So, the number of years the Treasurer elections takes place

= 1, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30

Now,as we can see from both statements, the year in which both elections happen are the <u>common factors of 4 and 6.</u>

<u>The first common factor of 4 and 6 is 12. </u>

<u></u>

So,in twelfth year both elections happen in the same year again.

Hence, there are 11 years before the elections happen in the same year.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

D. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(20 - 12) / (4 - 2)

8 / 2

= 4

So, the slope is 4.
