Simplify both sides of the equation

-25(x-4)=-55(x-10)

(-25)(x) + (-25)(-4)=(-55)(x) + (-55) (-10)

Distribute

-25x+100=-55x+550

Add 55x to both sides

-25x+100+55x=-55x+550+55x

30x+100-100=550-100

subtract 100 from both sides

30x+100-100=550-100

30x=450

divide both sides by 30

30x/30=450/30

x= 15

The value of x is 15

I hope that's help you my friend !

Well if I did my math correctly I do believe the perimeter should be 392 ft.

6÷2.5= 2.4
2.4×35=84

8÷2.5= 3.2
3.2×35=112

84×2
112×2

392

you mult. by 2 because it's a room which usually has four walls and I imagined it being a rectangle.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{7}{25}$

(b) $\frac{19}{116}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of juniors who attended prom,n(J)=28

Number of seniors who attended prom,n(S)=97

Total of those who attended prom=125

Number of juniors who did not attend prom,n(J')=56

Number of seniors who did not attend prom,n(S')=19

Total of those who attended prom=75
Total Number of students=200

(a) P (a junior who did not attend prom)

$P(J')=\frac{56}{200}= \frac{7}{25}$

(b)

$P(Senior)=\frac{116}{200}$

$P ($did not attend prom$ | senior)=\frac{\text{P(seniors who did not attend prom)}}{P(Senior)} \\=\frac{19/200}{116/200} \\=\frac{19}{116}$

(c)P (junior | attended prom)

$P(Senior)=\frac{84}{200}$

$P (Junior|$ attended prom$)=\frac{\text{P(juniors who attended prom)}}{P(\text{those who attended prom)}} \\=\frac{28/200}{125/200} \\=\frac{28}{125}$

Connie has saved up $15 to purchase a new CD from the local store. The sales tax in her county is 5% of the sticker price. Write

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$x + 0.05x = 15$ , solution is $14.29

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an equation for this scenario to try and solve it.

Assuming the cost of the CD is x, it’s sale tax will be 0.05x (as that is 5% of x, 0.05.)

We can write the equation in two ways:

$x + 0.05x = 15$ or $1.05x = 15$ .

Assuming we take the second one (easier to work with), we can divide both sides by 1.05. The equation simplifies to x = 14.289... which rounds to x = 14.29.

Therefore, the equation is $x + 0.05x = 15$ and the solution is $14.29.

Hope this helped!
