Say, length =x mileWidth =. x/5 milex*x/5=9/2020x*x=45x*x=45/20 =9/4x=3/2 mileLength =3/2 milesWidth=. 3/10 miles

I don´t understand this: Lin’s father is paying for a $20 meal. a) He has a 15%-off coupon for the meal. How much is the discoun

You'll have to set this up as two separate problems. First, we want to take 15% off the original $20 bill. To do this, you're going to multiply 20 by .15, which gives you $3. So, 15% off $20 is $17.

Now, we want to find 7% of the new bill, so we're going to multiply 17 by .07 to get $1.19, and add it to the $17, making the final bill $18.19. You could also multiply $17 by 1.07 to get your final total without the extra step in the middle, but only do that once you're comfortable with the math.

What’s the answer to this?

Step-by-step explanation:

Line is passing through the points:

$(-2,\:3)=(x_1,\:y_1) \:\&\: (2,\:5)=(x_2 ,\:y_2)$

Equation of line in two point form is given as:

$\frac{y -y_1 }{y_1 -y_2 } = \frac{x -x_1 }{x_1 -x_2 } \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y -3}{ 3 -5} = \frac{x -(-2) }{-2 -2} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y -3}{ - 2} = \frac{x -(-2) }{-4} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y - 3}{1} = \frac{x +2}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: y-3= \frac{x}{2} + \frac{2}{2} \\ \\\therefore \: y= \frac{x}{2} + 1 +3\\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: y= \frac{1}{2} \:x+ 4}}\\ is \: the \: required \: equation \: of \: line.$
