Since you want to cancel x-terms, you're only concerned with the x-term coefficients, 5 and 4. You will want to use the opposite of one of these. It usually works well to multiply the equation with the least y-coefficient by the negative multiplier. That is ...

  Multiply A by -4 and B by 5.

Answer:

<h2>a. $8.83</h2><h2>b. $136.83</h2><h2>The second option will be the right answer.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The total tax which is need to be paid is 6.9% of the listed price.

6.9% of 128 = \frac{6.9times128}{100} = 8.832 ≅ 8.83

b.

The person, who is going to buy a pair of boots, needs to pay the listed price as well as the required tax.

The total cost of the pair of boots is = listed price + tax = $(128 + 8.83) = $136.83

4. Thoughtful Politicians [This problem setting is due to Prof. James Norris of Cambridge University.] In a group of 100 politic
kirill [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The focus is on Party 2, because as already said, Party 1 members NEVER change their minds on anything!

There are 60 politicians in Party 2. They change their minds completely-randomly every day.

Tomorrow, the politicians will vote on a proposition: Proposition 88, but today, 10 are in favor of it while 50 are against it.

Each member changes their mind based on the toss of a coin (a fair/unbiased coin; since it was not stated that the coin is biased). A fair coin has a 0.5 probability of landing HEADS and same 0.5 probability of landing TAILS.

What is the distribution of the number of members in Party II who will favor Prop 88 tomorrow?

The number of figures in the distribution will depend on the number of times the coin is tossed, between today and tomorrow.

<em>KEY: </em><em>Assuming the coin is tossed 12 times between today and tomorrow AND assuming that half of the time - 6 times - it landed HEADS and half of the time, TAILS (Head and Tail simultaneously).</em>

Beginning with HEADS, the distribution of the number of members who will favor the proposition tomorrow, is:

50, 10, 50, 10, 50, 10, 50, 10, 50, 10, 50, 10

Tell whether the angles are complementary or supplementary. Then find the value of x
RSB [31]

Answer:

Complementary, x=60.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are complementary because they add up to 90 degrees, opposing supplementary angles, which add up to 180 degrees. To find x, we need to form an equation to represent the problem. We know the two angles add up to 90 degrees, so we can use that to make the equation.

(x-30)+x=90  Simplify.

x-30+x=90

2x-30=90      Add 30 to both sides.

  <u>+30 +30</u>

2x=120          Divide both sides by 2.

x=60

We can also find the value of the angles by plugging in x.

Angle 1: (x-30)

             (60-30)

             30 degrees

Angle 2: x

              60 degrees

(You can also notice that the two angles add up to 90 degrees, which is another way of telling that the angles are complementary.)

Hope this helps and have an amazing day!! C:

Evaluate sin2 (pi/4) + cos2 (pi/4).
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

sin^2(\pi/4)+cos^2(\pi/4)=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that you don't need to evaluate the actual sin and cos functions, since you are in the presence of a well known Pythagorean identity that states that this type of addition of squares for the same angle should equal 1:

sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1

So, as long as the angle "x" is the same in both trig functions, this addition should render "1" (one).

Because in this case the angle involved is the same (in both cases pi/4), the identity is valid.
