Answer:

\frac{x}{68,000}= \frac{27}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> amount that Jethro owes in taxes

we know that

Amount that he made last year  \$68,000

His tax rate  27\%=\frac{27}{100}

Applying proportion

\frac{x}{68,000}= \frac{27}{100}

solve for x

x=68,000(27)/100\\x=\$18,360

Solve the system of equations. (3x + 4y = 5) (2x - 3y = -8)
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

the solution is (-1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the system

(3x + 4y = 5)

(2x - 3y = -8)

using the method of elimination by addition and subtraction.  Notice that if we multiply all terms of the first equation by 3 and all terms of the second by 4, y as a variable will temporarily disappear:

  9x + 12y = 15

  8x - 12y  = -32

-----------------------

 17x       = - 17, so x = -1.  

Replacing x in the second equation by -1, we get:

2(-1) - 3y = -8, or

2 + 3y = 8,

or 3y = 6.  Thus, y = 2, and the solution is (-1, 2).

charle [14.2K]

Answer: x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

15 / 20 = (2x + 3) / 28

cross multiply

15(28) = 20(2x + 3)

420 = 40x + 60

360 = 40x

x = 9

A prime number less than 100 is selected randomly. what is the probability that its square has units digit $7$?
liberstina [14]
Any number ends with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or  9

Given any number. The square of this number is the last digit of square of the original numbers units digit.

For example

23*23 ends with 9 (3*3=9)

149*149 ends with 1 (9*9=81)

2564*2564 ends with 6 (4*4=16) 

and so on

so all the possible unit digits of a square number are {0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9}

because:

0*0= 0 ; 1*1=1; 2*2=4; 3*3=9; 4*4=16; 5*5=25, 6*6=36; 7*7=49; 8*8=64, 9*9=81

Thus, the probability that the square of a number selected from any set of numbers being 7, is 0.
