Answer:

r = -29/20 or r = -1.45

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you are saying that the equation is -2 1/4 = r - 4/5. If so, then I would solve it in this way:

-2 1/4 = r - 4/5

-9/4 = r - 4/5

-9/4 (20) = r (20) - 4/5 (20)

-45 = 20r - 16

20r = -29

r = -29/20

r = -1.45

Check:

-2 1/4 = r - 4/5

-9/4 = r - 4/5

-2.25 = r - 0.8

-2.25 = -1.45 - 0.8

-2.25 = -2.25

-9/4 = -9/4

John bought 3 pencils for $0.75 each and a notebook for $4.25. If the tax rate is 5%, what is the total amount of John's purchas

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

$6.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the before-tax total amount:

$0.75 + $0.75 + $0.75 + $4.25, or

3($0.75) + $4.25 = $2.25 + $4.25 = $6.50 (total before tax)

The before-tax total PLUS the 5% tax comes to:

$6.50 + 0.05($6.50) = $6.50 + $0.33 = $6.83

Solve the following equation by COMBINING LIKE TERMS FIRST: 3x + 3 - x + 4 = 21

bonufazy [111]

3x + 3 - x + 4 = 21

3x - x = 2x

2x +3 +4 = 21

3 + 4 = 7

2x + 7 = 21
-7 -7

2x = 14

Draw and label all three side lengths and angle measures of a right triangle that has a 40° angle and a hypotenuse 10 cm long.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Right Triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem

1.The Pythagorean Theorem, a2+b2=c2, a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , can be used to find the length of any side of a right triangle.

2.The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse (side c in the figure).

An eagle is flying around and its velocity vvvv as a function of time tttt is given in the graph below where rightwards is the p

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement is the area under the velocity curve. The area of interest is in the shape of a trapezoid, so we can use the formula ...

A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

to find the area.

Here, b1=3, b2=1, h=4, so the area is ...

A = (1/2)(3 +1)(4) = 8

The displacement is 8 units in the time from t=1 to t=4.

Solve the simultaneous equation :<br><br> 4x+2y=17<br> 3x+2y=14

enot [183]

Answer:

(x, y) = (3, 5/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x+2y=17\\3x+2y=14$

I'll solve by elimination here. If you invert the second equation and add it to the first, 2y and -2y would cancel out.

$4x+2y=17\\-(3x+2y=14)$

Now just add those from top to bottom.

$\rightarrow (4x-3x)+(2y-2y)=17-14\\\rightarrow x=3$

Nothing else needs to be done for that part. Now, you can pick either equation and use the known value of x to solve for y.

$4x+2y=17\\\rightarrow 4(3)+2y=17\\\rightarrow 12+2y=17\\\rightarrow 2y=5\\\rightarrow y=\frac{5}{2}$

(x, y) = (3, 5/2)
