Okay, to solve this, let's use the variable 'p' to represent the original price:
Because we know the amount of discount and the percentage off, we know that 60% of the original price is $75.
Knowing this, we can write an equation:
0.6p = 75
There are multiple ways to solve this, but I'll just use the method I prefer
6p = 750
p = 750/6
p = 125
The original price of the chess set was $125

Given the functions: f(x) = x^2-9 and g(x) = 3 what is (f/g)(x)? A. x-3 B. x-9 C. x+3 D. x+9
uysha [10]

Answer:

f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)

= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x

= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4

= –2x + 6

(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)

= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x

= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4

= 8x – 2

(f × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]

= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)

= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x

= –15x2 + 2x + 8

\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}(

g

f

)(x)=

g(x)

f(x)

= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}=

4−5x

3x+2

My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}

two friends, Bob and Ben , each buy one lottery ticket. Each ticket contains six numbers from a total of 100 numbers (0-99). But

I would say Ben because the chance of the numbers being 1,2,3,4,5, 6 would be extremely low

Which rule explains why these triangles aren't congruent? see picture below.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the picture says asks why the triangles are congruent but your question asks why they aren't congruent, so I will just assume that you made a typo, and you really meant: "Which rule explains why these triangles are congruent?"

Well, the triangles have two congruent sides, and they have a common shared side that are both congruent (due to reflexive property), so the triangle theorem SSS (Side-Side-Side) proves that the triangles are both congruent.
