Answer:

The original regular price for the coat is $90

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information in the question are;

The percentage that was off (removed) from the sale price = 30%

The sale price at which Jerry bought the coat = $63

Whereby the regular price = P, we have;

P - 30% of P = $63

P - 0.3×P = $63

P×(1 - 0.3) = $63

0.7·P = $63

P = $63/0.7 = $90

Therefore, the regular (original) price for the coat = $90

The coat regular price at which the coat is displayed is at $90.

Simplify the expression.

The answer is 2k^2 - 7k - 4 because 2k x k is 2k^2 and 2k x (-4) is -8k and 1 x k is k and 1 x (-4) is -4. So then you would get 2k^2 - 8k + k - 4 which simplifies to 2k^2 - 7k - 4 which is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}(30x + 24) - \frac{1}{7}(63 - 7x)$

Step 2: Simplify

Distribute: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}(30x) + \frac{1}{6}(24) - \frac{1}{7}(63) - \frac{1}{7}(-7x)$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 5x + 4 - 9 + x$
Rearrange: $\displaystyle 5x + x + 4 - 9$
Combine like terms: $\displaystyle 6x - 5$

Conti. 7-10 thanks a lot! unhelpful answers will be deleted.

Answers:

10. b. $\displaystyle 13$

9. b. $\displaystyle 20$

8. a. $\displaystyle 33$

7. a. $\displaystyle 25°$

Step-by-step explanations:

10. Both segments are considered congruent, so turn both expressions into an equation:

$\displaystyle 3x - 5 = x + 7 \hookrightarrow \frac{-12}{-2} = \frac{-2x}{-2} \\ \\ 6 = x$

Plug this back into the equation to get $\displaystyle 13$ on both sides.

9. All edges in a square obtain congruent right angles and edges, so set $\displaystyle 45$ equivalent to the given expression:

$\displaystyle 45 = 2x + 5 \hookrightarrow \frac{40}{2} = \frac{2x}{2} \\ \\ \boxed{20 = x}$

8. Both angles are considered supplementary, so turn both expressions into an equation and set it to one hundred eighty degrees:

$\displaystyle 180 = (4x - 15)° + (x + 30)° \hookrightarrow 180° = (15 + 5x)° \hookrightarrow \frac{165}{5} = \frac{5x}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{33 = x}$

7. In this rectangle, segment EO is a segment bisectour, making these angles Complementary Angles. Therefore, set an equation up to find its complement:

$\displaystyle 90° = 65° + m\angle{VOE} \\ \\ \boxed{25° = m\angle{VOE}}$

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

What is the solution to the equation?

UkoKoshka [18]

$\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}(2x-15)=3\frac{1}{2}\\\\
\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}(2x-15)=\frac{7}{2}\ \ \ |Multiply\ by\ 6\\\\
2x+2(2x-15)=21\\\\
2x+4x-30=21\\\\
6x-30=21\ \ |Add\ 30\\\\
6x=51\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 6\\\\
\boxed{x=\frac{51}{6}=8\frac{1}{2}}$
