Answer:

  • $1100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rent be x

<u>Discounted rent </u>

  • x - $50

<u>Increase applied</u>

  • 10%

<u>Final rent:</u>

  • (x - 50) + 10% = (x - 50)*1.1

<u>We know this is equal to x + 5% = 1.05x, comparing now</u>

  • 1.1(x - 50) = 1.05x
  • 1.1x - 1.05x = 55
  • 0.05x = 55
  • x = 55/0.05
  • x = $1100

​Solve the absolute value equation. Check for extraneous solutions: |9x-3|=12
STatiana [176]

ANSWER: x=5/3, -1. Good luck. Hope this suffices.

Explanation for x=-1: |9x-3|=12. Lets take the absolute value brackets away for a sec. Add 3 to both sides 9x-3+3=-12+3, simplify: 9x=-9, divide both sides by nine:9x/9=-9/9. And that means that x=-1.

Explanation for x=5/3: |9x-3|=12. Add 3. 9x-3+3=12+3. Simplify: 9x=15. Divide both sides by 9. 9x/9=15/9. Simplify: x=5/3

A company’s total cost from manufacturing and selling x units of their product is given by: y = 2x^2 – 600x + 49,000. How many u
AysviL [449]

Answer:

number of units for cost to be minimum=150

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x^2-600 x+49000

dy/dx=4x-600

dy/dx=0 gives 4x-600=0

4x=600

x=150

d^2y/dx^2=4x

at x=150,d^2y/dx^2=4*150=600>0

so y is minimum at x=150

Please help! I’m very confused on this question. I’m not very good at geometry.
Ahat [919]

Well, to find the perimeter we have to add all of the side lengths, so let's do that:

2x+3 +2x+3 +2x

And we know that this equals 36 so let's solve for x

2x+3+2x+3+2x = 36

6x+6 = 36

6x = 30

x = 5

So we know know that x = 5.

Now all you have to do is plug in the values of x into the lengths

2(5) + 3

= 10+3

= 13 is the length of two of the sides.

2x

= 2(5)

= 10

And 10 is the length of the last side.

Please someone help me solve this i dpnt know the answer​

<h2><u>Answer With Explanation:</u></h2>

<u>Firstly, let's start with <XOZ: =55°</u>

We know that <ZOQ is 70° and angles on a line add up to 180° so we do 180-70=110 110 divided by 2 = 55 so the 2 angles (XOZ & XOP are 55)

<u>Secondly, <OMN, <MON & <ONM = All are 60°</u>

These 2 angles are joined to create an equilateral triangle which always adds up to 180°

So, there are 3 points to this triangle, therefore we divide 180 by 3 which is 60. The angles are 60°

<u>Thirdly, <QON: =55°</u>

This angle lies on the line XON which needs to add up to 180°

As we worked out before, <XOZ was 55°

So, <ZOQ was already given as 70°

We then do 55+70=125 then 180-125=55°

<QON is 55°

(I'm only in Grade 9 LOL)

Find the area of the triangle.
madreJ [45]
Start by finding the area of each smaller right triangle.
Right triangle area = (1/2)hb -> h = height & b = base
b = 4 & h = 3
(1/2)(4)(3) = 6
6*2 = 12 (there are two right triangles)
The area of the entire triangle is 12yd^2
