The right answer is -2585
Lets price of article = x
Tax is 8% of article = 0.08x
x+0.08x=7.02
1.08x=7.02
x=7.02/1.08
x=6.5
The retail price is $6.50.
We know, opposite sides are parallelogram is parallel, therefore slopes are equal.
Slope of line one :

So, equation of other line passing through (-4,5) and have slope of -0.5 is :
y-5 = -0.5( x-(-4))
y-5 = -0.5x - 2
y + 1/2x = 3
2y + x = 6
Therefore, equation of line containing the (-4, 5) is 2y + x = 6.
Hence, this is the required solution.
23.4375 or 24.0 is the bacteria count after 6 hours.
Answer:
12x - 6 ≤ - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
We will call "a number" x so
Twelve times a number would be:
12x
Then minus 6
12x - 6
Now we add the less than or equal to sign.
12x - 6 ≤
This is equal to negative eighteen, so:
12x - 6 ≤ - 18
As a bonus we can also solve for x.
12x - 6 = - 18 Add 6 to each side.
12x - 6 + 6 = -18 + 6
12x = -18 + 6
12x = -12 Divide each side by 12
12x/12 = -12/12
x = -12/12
x = -1
So we can say when x ≤ -1 Then 12x - 6 ≤ -18
