Let x =  price of the bike before a sales tax.

The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars

Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50

Answer: 158.50

Please help me asap!!
Bess [88]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon given has 6 sides

Sum of interior angles of a 6-sided polygon = 180(n - 2)

substitute n = 6 into 180(n - 2)

Sum of the polygon = 180(6 - 2) = 720°

Thus:

10x + 8x - 16 + 12x - 8 + 7x + 2 + 9x + 4 + 6x + 10 = 720

Add like terms

52x - 8 = 720

52x = 720 + 8

52x = 728

x = 728/52

x = 14

How to graph y = 2|x + 3| - 4
mr_godi [17]

The x-intercepts and the y-intercepts of the function is that determines the graph is:

  • x-intercepts = (-5,0) and (-1,0)
  • y-intercepts = (0,2)

<h3>How do we graph the function y = f(x) of an absolute equation?</h3>

The function of an absolute equation can be graphed by determining the values of x-intercepts and the y-intercepts of the function.

From the given equation:

y = 2|x+3| - 4

To determine the y-intercepts, we need to set the values of x to zero, and vice versa for x-intercepts.

By doing so, the x-intercepts and the y-intercepts of the function is:

  • x-intercepts = (-5,0) and (-1,0)
  • y-intercepts = (0,2)

Therefore, since we know the x and y-intercepts, the graph of the absolute value can be seen as plotted below.
