Answer:

x= 1/256

Step-by-step explanation:

1. multiply both sides by 8x (answer: -5= 8x*-160)

2. divide both sides by -160 (answer: -5/-160 or 1/32 =8x)

3. divide both sides by 8 (answer: 1/256 = x

4. check your answer: -5/(8*1/256)= -160

we do not know how much the price of a commodity is, but it has been reduced by 10% and now costs 20€. What was the starting pri

MrRissso [65]

I got 22 because if u do 20 multiplied by 10% that gives u 2 which u then add onto the 20 to get the starting price. 10% of 22 is 2 and then 22-2 = 20 (if u we’re doing it from the starting price)

a line passes through point (-2,5) and has a slope of 2/3 points a (x,3) and b ( -2, y) lie on the line what is the value of y a

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The value of y is 5 , and The value of x is - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The line passes through point ( - 2, 5)

The slope of line is m = $\frac{2}{3}$

Equation of line is written as

y - $y_1$ = m × (x - $x_1$ )

Since line passes through line ( - 2 , 5 ) and have slope $\frac{2}{3}$

So, y - 5 = $\frac{2}{3}$ × (x + 2)

Or, 3 × ( y - 5 ) = 2 × ( x + 2 )

Or, 3 y - 15 = 2 x + 4

Or, 3 y - 2 x - 19 = 0 is the equation of line

Now points ( x , 3 ) lies on the line 3 y - 2 x - 19 = 0

So, 3 × 3 - 2 x - 19 = 0

or, 9 - 2 x - 19 = 0

or, 2 x = - 10

∴ x = - $\frac{10}{2}$

I.e x = - 5

Again points ( - 2 , y ) lies on the line 3 y - 2 x - 19 = 0

So, 3 × y + 2 × 2 - 19 = 0

Or, 3 × y + 4 -19 = 0

or, 3 y = 15

∴ y = $\frac{15}{3}$

I.e y = 5

Hence The value of y is 5 , and The value of x is - 5 . Answer

- Last week Shelley earned $60.00 in tips waitressing. This week she earned $72.00.

castortr0y [4]

Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Rule of 3, let's put the money on the left and the percentage on the right of the chart.

$\frac{60.00}{72.00}=\frac{100}{x}$

$x=\frac{72*100}{60} \\x=120$

Calculate the difference.

$120-100=20$
