Answer:

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price is 499

Discount = original price * percent off

Discount = 499 * .18

               =89.82

The sale price = original price minus the discount

sale price = 499-89.82

sale price = 409.18

Sales tax = sale price * tax rate

                = 409.18 * 8.875%

                =409.18*.08875

                 =36.314725

Rounding to the nearest cent

                     36.31

Final cost = sale price + sales tax

                  =409.18+36.31

                   445.49

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

During exercise, the recommended maximum heart rate in beats per minute is modeled by the formula M = 176 − 0.8A, where M is the
Vesnalui [34]
1. To solve the formula M=176-0.8A for A, the first thing we are going to do is subtract M for both sides of the equation:
M-M=176-0.8A-M
0=176-0.8A-M
Next, we are going to add 0.8A to both sides of the equation:
0.8A=176-0.8A+0.8A-M
0.8A=176-M
Finally, we are going to divide both sides of the equation by 0.8:
\frac{0.8A}{0.8} = \frac{176-M}{0.8}
A= \frac{176-M}{0.8}

2. Now, to find at what age the maximum heart rate in beats per minute should be 140, we are going to replace M with 140 in our formula:
A= \frac{176-140}{0.8}
A= \frac{36}{0.8}
A=45

We can conclude that 45 years old person, must not exceed a heart rate of 140 beats per minute during exercise.

<em>X= 16</em>

<em>X=49</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>original equation</em>

<em>x-11√x+28 = 0</em>

<em>   Isolate</em>

<em>     -11√x = -x-28+0</em>

<em>  Tidy up</em>

<em>     11√x = x+28</em>

<em>  Raise both sides to the second power</em>

<em>     (11√x)2 = (x+28)2</em>

<em>After squaring</em>

<em>     121x = x2+56x+784</em>

<em> Plug in 49 for  x </em>

<em>      11√(49) = (49)+28</em>

<em>Simplify</em>

<em>      11√49 = 77</em>

<em>      Solution checks !!</em>

<em>     Solution is:</em>

     x = 49

<em>Plug in 16 for  x </em>

<em>      11√(16) = (16)+28</em>

<em>Simplify</em>

<em>      11√16 = 44</em>

<em>      Solution checks !!</em>

<em>     Solution is:</em>

     x = 16
