Answer:
1) x = 17, line a parallel to line b
2) x = 18, line a parallel to line b
Step-by-step explanation:
If line a parallel to line b then (10x - 40) + 50 = 180
Solve for x
10x - 40 + 50 = 180
Combine like terms
10x + 10 = 180
10x = 170
x = 17
x = 17, line a parallel to line b
-------------------------------------------------
If line a parallel to line b then 5x - 16 = 74
Solve for x
5x - 16 = 74
5x = 90
x = 18
x = 18, line a parallel to line b
Since 1A claims that the diagram is of a square, you can easily find the perimeter by multiplying just one side by 4, because the definition of a square says that all of its four sides are equal in length.
Take the left side, x and 4, and add them together, because both of these lengths add up to form the side of the square. You have found one side of the square, x + 4. Now multiply this side by 4 for the perimeter.
Perimeter is the length all around the figure, and since a square has 4 sides you would multiply one side by 4 to find the perimeter.
4(x + 4) is your expression for the perimeter of the square. You could probably solve 1B and 1C by substituting in 3 and 5 for x in the equation I've given you :)
The answer is B hope this helps and mark me the brainlist
The sales price is 85% of the original $2,200, which can be calculated as follows: .85(2,200) = 1870 Assuming you meant 15% discount price..
Now we need to find a 7% sales tax, which can be calculated as follows:
.07(1870) = 130.90
Now we add the sale price and the sales tax: 1870 + 130,90 = $2000.90 for the total cost.
