It’s definitely-20
Add 9 to both sides to cancel it out so it is now
4x-20=5x
Than subtract 4x on both sides it is now
-20=x
Because 5-4 equals 1 and 1x is just written as x
Answer: the integers are 6 and 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent one of the integers.
Let y represent the other integer.
The product of the integers is 138. This means that
xy = 138 - - - - - - - - - -1
One of the integers is seven less than five times the other integer. This means that
x = 5y - 7
Substituting x = 5y - 7 into equation 1, it becomes
y(5y - 7) = 138
5y² - 7y = 138
5y² - 7y - 138 = 0
5y² + 23y - 30y - 138 = 0
y(5y + 23) - 6(5y + 23)
y - 6 = 0 or 5y + 23 = 0
y = 6 or y = - 23/5
The only possible value of y is 6
x = 138/y = 138/6
x = 23
A. If you use only the coupon you will have to pay $137.50.
B. Using the Coupon during the sale, the kit is discounted by $112.50
C. The total percent discount is 45% after both discounts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; The store has the robotics kit for a sale of 25% off $250. So we need to find how much 25% is in terms of $250. To do that we convert 25% into a fraction by dividing it by 100 and multiplying it with $250.
25% of $250 =
× $250 = 0.25 × $250 = $62.50
So we find the cost of the kit due to the store's discount. To do that we subtract the discounted price from the original price.
Robotics kit price after 25% discount = $250 - $62.50 = $187.50.
Step 2; A coupon you have gives you an additional 20% discount. So the robotics kit can be brought for 25% off due to the sale at the store, due to this coupon you get an additional 20%. So you get a 45% discount off $250.
45% of $250 =
× $250 = 0.45 × $250 = $112.50.
So to find the total discount we subtract this $112.50 from the non-discounted cost of $250.
Total discounted price = $250 - $112.50 = $137.50.
Answer:
The taxi ride is 6.5 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+1.3y=18.45
5(2)+1.3y=18.45
10+1.3y=18.45
1.3y=18.45-10
1.3y=8.45
y=8.45/1.3
y=6.5
To get this, you need to divide 15/16 by 1/16. To do it, multiply 15/16 by 16 and you get 15 as your answer.
