6-x=8
x=2
The price of an item has dropped to $84 today. yesterday it was $120 . find the percentage decrease.
<u>Answer:</u>
9. x = 12
10. x = 31
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
9. Corresponding angles are equal, so technically you can move that (7x - 20) to be diagonal with the (4x + 16). Along with the corresponding angle, diagonal angles are equal to each other. Therefore you can set (7x - 20) equal to (4x + 16) to find x.
7x - 20 = 4x + 16
Solve
3x - 20 = 16
3x = 36
x = 12
Therefore x is equal to 12
<u>Check:</u>
4(12) + 16
= 64
7(12) - 20
= 64
10. All angles in a triangle have to add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, you can write your equation like this:
x + 2x + 25 + 2x = 180
Combine like terms
5x + 25 = 180
Solve
5x = 155
x = 31
Therefore, x = 31.
<u>Check:</u>
31 + 2(31) + 25 + 2(31) = 180
31 + 62 + 25 + 62 = 180
180 = 180

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$43.20
Step-by-step explanation:
The price with tax is 100% + 8% = 1.08 times the price before tax. The discount multplies that price by 100% -20% = 0.80. The discount multiplier is the same whether the discount is applied before or after the tax.
The combined effect of the two multipliers is ...
... 1.08 × 0.80 = 0.864
so the discounted price with tax added is 0.864 × $50 = $43.20
_____
Perhaps you're supposed to figure the tax (8% of $50 = $4), add the tax ($50 +4 = $54), then subtract the discount (20% of $54 = $10.80) to get
$54.00 -10.80 = $43.20
