If the wheel is $650=8% tax, the tax would be $52 we get that by multiplying 650*8% then add 650+52 and we get 702. so together the cheese wheel is $702
The unit rate is 2/3 because in the line y=2/3x, 2/3 is the slope (y=mx+b). The slope of the line is pretty much the definition of a unit rate because the unit rate is a constant addition or subtraction over and over. In addition, it is a straight line(y=mx+b) and the values are going up at a constant rate of 2/3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides be a, b and c.
<h3>Given</h3>
The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side
The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:
The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:
<h3>Solution</h3>
Substitute a with b in the second equation:
- c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5
Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:
- 3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
- 7b - 3.5 = 17.5
- 7b = 17.5 + 3.5
- 7b = 21
- b = 3
Find the value of a:
- a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7
Find the value of c:
- c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5
The sides of the triangle are:
- a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet
Line 4. 12 would be divided by 6, not multiplied.
