WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME? 1. In Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6%. Suppose that an item costs $50.88 including tax. How can we

use algebra to find the price of the item before tax was added? What is the price before tax? Note: Using x = the price before tax, write an equation, and show solving steps to find x. (SOLVE AND CHECK) ($47.83 WON'T BE THE CORRECT ANSWER)

Answer: $48

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that in Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6% and that an item costs $50.88 including tax.

Let the cost of the item before tax be x. This means that x plus 6% of x equals to $50.88. This can be mathematically expressed as:

x + (6% of x) = $50.88

x + (6/100 × x) = $50.88

x + (0.06 × x) = $50.88

x + 0.06x = $50.88

1.06x = $50.88

When then divide by the coefficient of x

1.06x/1.06 = #50.88/1.06

x = $48

The price before the tax is $48

Let V denote the set of ordered triples (x, y, z) and define addition in V as in
icang [17]

Answer:

a) No

b) No

c) No

d) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, a set V wit the operations addition and scalar product is a vector space if the following conditions are valid for all u, v, w∈V and for all scalars c and d:

1. u+v∈V

2. u+v=v+u

3. (u+v)+w=u+(v+w).

4. Exist 0∈V such that u+0=u

5. For each u∈V exist −u∈V such that u+(−u)=0.

6. if c is an escalar and u∈V, then cu∈V

7. c(u+v)=cu+cv

8. (c+d)u=cu+du

9. c(du)=(cd)u

10. 1u=u

let's check each of the properties for the respective operations:

Let u=(u_1,u_2,u_3), v=(v_1,v_2,v_3)

Observe that  

1. u+v∈V

2. u+v=v+u, because the adittion of reals is conmutative

3. (u+v)+w=u+(v+w). because the adittion of reals is associative

4. (u_1,u_2,u_3)+(0,0,0)=(u_1+0,u_2+0,u_3+0)=(u_1,u_2,u_3)

5. (u_1,u_2,u_3)+(-u_1,-u_2,-u_3)=(0,0,0)

then regardless of the escalar product, the first five properties are met for a), b), c) and d). Now let's verify that properties 6-10 are met.

a)

6. c(u_1,u_2,u_3)=(cu_1,u_2,cu_3)\in V

7.

c(u+v)=c(u_1+v_1,u_2+v_2,u_3+v_3)=(c(u_1+v_1),u_2+v_2,c(u_3+v_3))\\=(cu_1+cv_1,u_2+v_2,cu_3+cv_3)=c(u_1,u_2,u_3)+c(v_1,v_2,v_3)=cu+cv

8.

(c+d)u=(c+d)(u_1,u_2,u_3)=((c+d)u_1,u_2,(c+d)u_3)=\\=(cu_1+du_1,u_2,cu_3+du_3)\neq (cu_1+du_1,2u_2,cu_3+du_3)=cu+du

Since 8 isn't satify then V is not a vector space with the addition as in R^3 and the scalar product a(x,y,z)=(ax,y,az)

b)  6. c(u_1,u_2,u_3)=(cu_1,0,cu_3)\in V

7.

c(u+v)=c(u_1+v_1,u_2+v_2,u_3+v_3)=(c(u_1+v_1),0,c(u_3+v_3))\\=(cu_1+cv_1,0,cu_3+cv_3)=c(u_1,u_2,u_3)+c(v_1,v_2,v_3)=cu+cv

8.

(c+d)u=(c+d)(u_1,u_2,u_3)=((c+d)u_1,0,(c+d)u_3)=\\=(cu_1+du_1,0,cu_3+du_3)=(cu_1,0,cu_3)+(du_1,0,du_3) =cu+du

9.

c(du)=c(d(u_,u_2,u_3))=c(du_1,0,du_3)=(cdu_1,0,cdu_3)=(cd)u

10

1u=1(u_1,u_2,u3)=(1u_1,0,1u_3)=(u_1,0,u_3)\neq(u_1,u_2,u_3)

Since 10 isn't satify then V is not a vector space with the addition as in R^3 and the scalar product a(x,y,z)=(ax,0,az)

c) Observe that 1u=1(u_1,u_2,u3)=(0,0,0)\neq(u_1,u_2,u_3)

Since 10 isn't satify then V is not a vector space with the addition as in R^3 and the scalar product a(x,y,z)=(0,0,0).

d)  Observe that 1u=1(u_1,u_2,u3)=(2*1u_1,2*1u_2,2*1u_3)=(2u_1,2u_2,2u_3)\neq(u_1,u_2,u_3)=u

Since 10 isn't satify then V is not a vector space with the addition as in R^3 and the scalar product a(x,y,z)=(2ax,2ay,2az).

What will it cost to tile a rectangular floor measuring 299 feet by by 34 feet if the tile costs $ 11 per square​ foot?
AnnZ [28]

First, you need to find the area of the room.

299×34=10166

Once you found the area of the room, you need to find the cose of the tile.

10166×11=111826


It will cost $111,826 to cover 10166 square feet.
