You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us 
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427

When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.

To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7

So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%

exis [7]

Answer:

1. line a and c and parallel. line b is perpendicular with line a and c. 2. line b and c and parallel. line a is perpendicular to lines b and c. 3. y= -3x + 3 4. y=(5/3)x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find parallel and perpendicular, make the slope opposite and find b by plugging in the points. Parallel is the same slope.

Two hikers are walking along the Appalachian Trail. The first hiker is 2 miles ahead of the second hiker. Both hikers are travel
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Chris is correct. (Choice letter C)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can eliminate choices A and B from the get-go because the problem stated that both hikers are traveling at 1mi/hr. This means that the slope of the equation would equate to 1, so just x.

That leaves us with C and D. The two equations both have a slope of 1, but C has a y-intercept of -2 and D has a y-intercept of 2, which represents the starting location of the second hiker. The first hiker is the one who is ahead by 2 miles, so it can't be D. This leaves us with choice C. Chris is correct.

I believe the answer might be:
x = 28/19

Steps:
Expand
3(5 - x)/2 - 4(3 + 2x)/5

-3x + 15 - 8x + 12
------------ -----------
2 5

Find the LCD for the equation above:
(15-3x) * 5 - (12+8x) * 2
------------- --------------
10 10

Now we combine them since the denominators are equal:
5(-3+15) - 2(8x+12)
--------------------------
10

We expand above:
-31x+51
-----------

If y varies inversely as x2 and y = 100 when
love history [14]
Ans: (c)

y = k/x^2

when y = 100, x = 1
100 = k/1^2
k = 100

when x = 2,
y = 100/2
= 50

(u/rachelmarrons already gave you the answer but here’s a step-by-step explanation in case you needed it haha)
