Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 8400 by 14000. You will see that $8400 is 60% (.60 in the calculator) you need to subtract that from 100 to find the discount. 100-60= 40

9. Solve x - 72 > 21.

Inequalities are just like regular equations with only one exception. Which is when yo multiply or divide by a negative number to both sides of the inequality sign you must flip it. But, for this inequality that rule will no apply. So, what I do to make it easier because I know we all see a different sign in an equation and we start to freak out. So, change the inequality sign to an equals sign to get a hang of working with them.

Example of changing an inequality sign to an equals sign:

$x-72=21$

$x-72+72=21+72$ Addition property of equality

$x=93$

or

Example of keeping the inequality sign

$x-72>21$

$x-72+72>21+72$ Addition property of equality

$x>93$

If RX=4 and XS=9, then XT=<br> And how do you get it?

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

XT=6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question is the attached figure

step 1

In the right triangle RST

Applying the Pythagorean theorem

$RS^2=RT^2+TS^2$

we have

$RS=RX+XS=4+9=13\ units$ ---> by segment addition postulate

substitute

$RT^2+TS^2=169$ ----> equation A

step 2

In the right triangle RTX

Applying the Pythagorean theorem

$RT^2=RX^2+XT^2$

we have

$RX=4\ units$

substitute

$RT^2=4^2+XT^2$

$RT^2=16+XT^2$

$XT^2=RT^2-16$ ----> equation B

step 3

In the right triangle XTS

Applying the Pythagorean theorem

$TS^2=XS^2+XT^2$

we have

$XS=9\ units$

substitute

$TS^2=9^2+XT^2$

$TS^2=81+XT^2$

$XT^2=TS^2-81$ ----> equation C

step 4

equate equation B and equation C

$TS^2-81=RT^2-16$

$TS^2-RT^2=81-16$

$TS^2-RT^2=65$ ----> equation D

step 5

Solve the system

$RT^2+TS^2=169$ ----> equation A

$TS^2-RT^2=65$ ----> equation D

Solve by elimination

Adds equation A and equation D

$RT^2+TS^2=169\\TS^2-RT^2=65\\---------\\TS^2+TS^2=169+65\\2TS^2=234\\TS^2=117$

Find the value of RT^2

$RT^2+117=169\\RT^2=52$

step 6

Find the value of XT

equation C

$XT^2=117-81\\XT^2=36\\XT=6\ units$
