Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
                                                                                                           = X - 0.2X
                                                                                                            = 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
   = 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.

Two angles have measures of 53° and 127°. What type of angle pair do they form?
vodomira [7]
If it’s a triangle it’s An obtuse angle because so far 53 + 127 equals 180 and obviously if it’s a triangleyou need a third angle so it’d be over 180 meaning obtuse. If those are the only sides and it’s not a triangle then it’s a straight angle because a straight angle is 189 degress

F(x)=(x-4)(x+2) i need help
Westkost [7]

Answer:

x^2 - 2x - 8

Step by step explanation:

Distribute the x as well as the -4  

x * x = x^2

x * 2 = 2x

-4 * x = -4x

-4 * 2 = -8

Combine all the like terms, which means terms with the same variable or regular integers must be either added or subtracted amongst each other.

2x + -4x = -2x

The final answer after combining all the like terms is

x^2 - 2x - 8

Factorise 2x²-9x+10 (this must be put in two brackets)
galben [10]
Find both roots :
\Delta=81-80=1 hence r=\frac{9\pm1}4=\frac{5}2\text{ or }2

Thus it is 2(x-\frac{5}2)(x-2)
