Answer:
b both pairs of opposite sides are parallel
23 x 5% =
23 x 0.05= 1.15 (total sales tax)
23 + 1.15= $24.15 (total price)
The first book can be any one of the 5.
For each of those . . .
The 2nd book can be any one of the remaining 4.
For each of those ...
The 3rd book can be any one of the remaining 3.
For each of those . . .
The 4th book can be either of the remaining 2.
For each of those . . .
The 5th book is the last one remaining.
Total number of ways to arrange the 5 books is
(5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1) = 120 .
Cross off alphabetically ascending (1 way), and alphabetically
descending (1 way), and you're left with (120 - 2) = 118 ways.
Answer:
I do not understand very well but they are already helping me
This is like the equation of a line where y is the area, x is the time, and 8.5% is your slope. So you have y=0.085x+b (reason why I switched 8.5% into 0.085 is because that is how you write a percent as a decimal).So now you need to find what b is. So you know orignally the area is 2400km^2 at x=0 years (this is what it is initially).If you plug those numbers in you have:2400=0.085(0)+bThen after solving for b, you can write your equation as:y=0.085x+(whatever you found b to be)Then plug 13 in for x and you have your answer. y=-.085(13)+2400
