Answer:

The original selling price was \$75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the original selling price

we know that

100\%-20\%=80\%=80/100=0.80

so

0.80(x)=60 -----> equation that represent the situation

solve for x

Divide by 0.80 both sides

x=60/0.80=\$75

The gym has a total of 25 treadmills and stationary bikes. there are seven more stationary bikes than treadmills.
Rudik [331]

The system of equations is t+b=25\\b=t+7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can answer this question as follows.

First of all, we call:

t = number of treadmills

b = number of stationary bikes

The two conditions that we have can be translated into equations as follows:

- The gym has a total of 25 treadmills and stationary bikes:

t+b=25

- There are seven more stationary bikes than treadmills:

b=t+7

So the system of equations to solve is

t+b=25\\b=t+7

We now solve it in the following way: first, we rewrite the second equation by bringing t on the left side,

t+b=25\\b-t=7

Now we add the 1st equation to the 2nd equation:

(t+b)+(b-t)=25+7\\t+b+b-t=32\\2b=32\\b=\frac{32}{2}=16

And therefore,

t+b=25\\t+16=25\\t=25-16=9

So, there are 16 stationary bikes and 9 treadmills.

angle 1 and 3 are corresponding angles that menas they equal the same

so set it up like this 2x+10=110 solve for x

move over the 10, subtract 10 from 110 you get 100 and divide by 2

you get 50.

Determine the x and y intercepts for the line 3x – 5y + 15 = 0. Show your work.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The x and y intercepts occur when either x or y = 0

For the y intercept, x = 0

3(0) - 5y + 15 = 0

- 5y + 15 = 0                  Subtract 15 from both sides.

-5y = - 15                       Divide by - 5

-5y / -5 = - 15/-5

y = 3

For x intercept, y = 0

3x - 5(0) + 15 = 0

3x + 15 = 0                    Subtract 15 from both sides

3x = - 15                        Divide by 3

3x/3 = - 15/3

x = - 5

xintercept = (-5,0)

yintercept = (0,3)
