Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x

The discounted price for a clearance sale = 30% of x

If the price tag after discounting = $199.

Using the relationship to find the original price x

Original price - discounted price = Current price tag after discounting

x - 0.3x = 199

0.7x = 199

Divide both sides by 0.7

0.7x/0.7 = 199/0.7

x = $284.29

<em>Hence the suit's original price is approximately $284.29</em>

$\frac{3}{5} t = 6$

$t = 6 \div \frac{3}{5}$

$t = 6 \times \frac{5}{3}$

$t = 2 \times 5$

$t = 10$

$\frac{1}{4} a = \frac{14}{15}$

$a = \frac{14}{15} \div \frac{1}{4}$

$a = \frac{14}{15} \times 4$

$a = \frac{56}{15}$

Can you pls help with these I really need help

Answer:

for question one - x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

a triangle is always 180, in other words you will add all the corners equal to 180

ex (for first question) - 7x -2 + 4x + 5x - 10 = 180

you add like terms, the x with x and single numbers with numbers, which results in 16x - 12 = 180. then you do the original operation "what you do to one sign of the equal side you do to the other"

find a set of parametric equations of the line the line pases through the point (2,3,4) and is parallel to the xz-plane and the

joja [24]

Answer:

$x=2, y=3, z=4+t$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need a line parallel to the plane x z and yz. And by definition of parallel we see that the intersection between the xz and yz plane is the z axis. And we can take the following unitary vector to construct the parametric equations:

$u= (u_x, u_y, u_z)= (0,0,1)$

Or any factor of u but for simplicity let's take the unitary vector.

Then the parametric equations are given by:

$x= P_x + u_x t$

$y= P_y + u_y t$

$z= P_z + u_z t$

Where the point given $P=(2,3,4)= (P_x , P_y, P_z)$

And then since we have everything we can replace like this:

$x= P_x + u_x t 2+ 0*t = 2$

$y= P_y + u_y t= 3+ 0*t = 3$

$z= P_z + u_z t = 4+ 1t = 4+t$

$x=2, y=3, z=4+t$

Consider this equation:

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

we are given the function –2x – 4 + 5x = 8 and is asked in the problem to solve for the variable x in the function. In this case, we can first group the like terms and put them in their corresponding sides:

-2x + 5x =8+4

Then, do the necessary operations.

3x = 12

x = 4.

The variable x has a value of 4.
