1/5th off = 20% off

80% = $140
1% = $1.75
100% = $175

Answer is $175

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)? 3 4 5 9

ICE Princess25 [194]

1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)

First, distribute 1.5 into x and 4, and 4.5 into x and -2, to get rid of the parentheses. Everything that we do to solve this equation is to isolate x to solve for its value.

1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9

Combine like terms on both sides (6-3).

1.5x+3=4.5x-9

Subtract 1.5x from both sides.

3=3x-9

Add 9 to both sides.

12=3x

Divide both sides by 3.

4=x

The answer is 4.

I hope this helps :)

Prove that sin3a-cos3a/sina+cosa=2sin2a-1

Sloan [31]

Answer:

$\frac{sin(3a)-cos(3a)}{sin(a)+cos(a)} =2sin(2a)-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

$\frac{sin(3a)-cos(3a)}{sin(a)+cos(a)} =2sin(2a)-1$

we can simplify left side and make it equal to right side

we can use trig identity

$sin(3a)=3sin(a)-4sin^3(a)$

$cos(3a)=4cos^3(a)-3cos(a)$

now, we can plug values

$\frac{(3sin(a)-4sin^3(a))-(4cos^3(a)-3cos(a))}{sin(a)+cos(a)}$

now, we can simplify

$\frac{3sin(a)-4sin^3(a)-4cos^3(a)+3cos(a)}{sin(a)+cos(a)}$

$\frac{3sin(a)+3cos(a)-4sin^3(a)-4cos^3(a)}{sin(a)+cos(a)}$

$\frac{3(sin(a)+cos(a))-4(sin^3(a)+cos^3(a))}{sin(a)+cos(a)}$

now, we can factor it

$\frac{3(sin(a)+cos(a))-4(sin(a)+cos(a))(sin^2(a)+cos^2(a)-sin(a)cos(a)}{sin(a)+cos(a)}$

$\frac{(sin(a)+cos(a))[3-4(sin^2(a)+cos^2(a)-sin(a)cos(a)]}{sin(a)+cos(a)}$

we can use trig identity

$sin^2(a)+cos^2(a)=1$

$\frac{(sin(a)+cos(a))[3-4(1-sin(a)cos(a)]}{sin(a)+cos(a)}$

we can cancel terms

$=3-4(1-sin(a)cos(a))$

now, we can simplify it further

$=3-4+4sin(a)cos(a))$

$=-1+4sin(a)cos(a))$

$=4sin(a)cos(a)-1$

$=2\times 2sin(a)cos(a)-1$

now, we can use trig identity

$2sin(a)cos(a)=sin(2a)$

we can replace it

$=2sin(2a)-1$

so,

$\frac{sin(3a)-cos(3a)}{sin(a)+cos(a)} =2sin(2a)-1$

Yolanda is making a banner for a school pep rally. She cuts fabric in the shape of a parallelogram. The angle at the bottom-left

Roman55 [17]

Answer: x=100

Step-by-step explanation:

In parallelograms the opposite angles are equal. As the bottom left angle is 80° the opposite angle (top right), is also 80°. All 4 angles in a quadrilateral must add up to 360. Because you know 2 angles added together are 160° the other two angles must equal 200°. As opposite angles are equal you know 2x=200, divide by 2 x=100

Ashton used 12.6 gallons of gasoline to drive his car on a weekend trip. he averaged 21.5 miles per gallon. about how many miles

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: 270.9 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we use here is :

$\text{Distance=Speed * Number of gallons of gasoline}$

Given : Ashton used 12.6 gallons of gasoline to drive his car on a weekend trip. he averaged 21.5 miles per gallon.

Then $\text{Distance traveled }=12.6\times21.5=270.9\text{ miles}$

Hence, he traveled 270.9 miles.
