So 2680 divided by 100 is 26.80 which is 1%, times 26.80 by 5 to get 5% = £134, £2680+134= £2814

Answer:

In number 1:

m = 10/3

b = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answers to these, simply look to the coefficient of x and the constant at the end of the equation. The number attached to x is always m (which is known as the slope). The number at the end is b (or the y-intercept).

Sara is working on a Geometry problem in her Algebra class. The problem requires Sara to use the two quadrilaterals below to ans

zloy xaker [14]

Part A:

Given a square with sides 6 and x + 4. Also, given a rectangle with sides 2 and 3x + 4

The perimeter of the square is given by 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(2) + 2(3x + 4) = 4 + 6x + 8 = 6x + 12

For the perimeters to be the same

4x + 16 = 6x + 12
4x - 6x = 12 - 16
-2x = -4
x = -4 / -2 = 2

The value of x that makes the <span>perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same is 2.

Part B:

The area of the square is given by

$Area=(x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16$

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8

For the areas to be the same

$x^2+8x+16=6x+8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+8x-6x+16-8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+2x+8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(8)}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-32}}{2} = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{-28}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm2i\sqrt{7}}{2} =-1\pm i\sqrt{7}$

Thus, there is no real value of x for which the area of the quadrilaterals will be the same.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Each combo costed $4.95

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, simply divide 103.95 by 21, and then put a dollar sign. (Most teachers would count no dollar sign as incorrect/points off, so don't forget it!)

103.95 ÷ 21 = 4.95 → $4.95
