Answer:

(100 – 12) – 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

(100 – 12) – 3x would be the correct answer because:

100 is the total amount he paid

12 is the cost of pants

because we don't know the price of shirts yet so it would be called x

He buy in total of 3 shirts so the equation for the price would be 3 * x = 3x

So it would be:

total money paid - pants costs - shirts cost

= 100 - 12 - 3x or (100 - 12) -3x

Hope this helped :3

100 – (3x + 12)
(100 - 12x) - 3x
100 - (x + x + x) - 3x)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given:

Huang buys

3 shirts that each cost the same amount,
a pair of pants that cost $12,

and he pays with a $100 bill.

Question:

Which expression represents the amount of change Huang should receive?

The Process:

We try to solve a word problem about the single variable equation.

Let the price of the shirt be x (in USD) per piece because the price is unknown.
Huang buys 3 shirts at the same unit price. The total price of the shirt formed an equation $\boxed{ \ 3 \cdot x = 3x \ }$
Also, he buys a pair of pants that cost $12.
Next, he pays for the purchase with a $100 bill at the cashier.

Calculate and prepare a total purchases.

Total purchases = shirts costs + pants costs

Total purchases is $\boxed{ \ 3x + 12 \ (in \ USD) \ }$

Let us determine the expression that represents the amount of change Huang should receive.

The amount of change is total payments subtracted by total purchases.

Thus the three expressions of the amount of change are as follows:

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ 100 - (3x + 12) \ }}$
$\boxed{ \ 100 - 3x - 12 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{\boxed{ \ (100 - 12x) - 3x) \ }}$
$\boxed{ \ 100 - 3x - 12 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{\boxed{ \ 100 - (x + x + x) - 3x) \ }}$

Notes:

$\boxed{ \ a - (b + c) \rightleftharpoons (a - b - c) \ }$

triangle ABC is Isosceles CA and CB are equal AB is parallels to the x- axis. Work out the coordinate of A. Given that BC=5cm wo

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The perimeter of the triangle ABC is 17 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the Isosceles triangle ABC.

The sides CA and CB are equal with measures, 5 cm.

The base angles are assumed to be x° each. Hence, the angle ACB is 2x°.

The altitude CP divides the base AB into two equal halves and the angle ACB is also cut into halves.

Consider the right angled triangle ACP.

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°.

Determine the value of x as follows:

x° + x° + 90° = 180°

2x° = 90°

x° = 45°

Compute the length of side AP as follows:

$cos\ 45^{0}=\frac{AP}{CA}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{AP}{5}$

$AP =\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\AP=3.5$

Then the length of side AB is:

AB = AP + PB

= 3.5 + 3.5

= 7 cm

The perimeter of triangle ABC is:

Perimeter = AB + CA + CB

= 7 + 5 + 5

= 17

Thus, the perimeter of the triangle ABC is 17 cm.

If log(x + y) = log 3 + ½log x + ½log y, prove that x² + y² = 7xy

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

$log(x + y) = log3 + \frac{1}{2} logx+ \frac{1}{2} logy \\ \\ log(x + y) = log3 + logx ^{\frac{1}{2}} + logy ^{\frac{1}{2}}\\ \\ log(x + y) = log3 + log(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\ log(x + y) = log[3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}}] \\ \\ x + y = 3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\ squaring \: both \: sides \\ {(x + y)}^{2} = \bigg(3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \bigg)^{2} \\ \\ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2xy = 9xy \\ \\ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 9xy - 2xy \\ \\ \purple{ \bold{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 7xy}} \\ thus \: proved$
