Answer:

$225.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the  price before taxes be x dollars. Then we have the equation:

x + 7% of x = 240.75

x + 0.07x = 240.75

1.07x = 240.75

x = 240.75/1.07

= $225.

A snowstorm began on Monday evening. It snowed steadily until 6:00 am on Tuesday morning when the snow was 12 inches deep. Kevin
poizon [28]

Answer:

what is expected at 7am is 15 inches deep snow but what we have is 12 inches deep snow. The equation has failed in its prediction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate if the prediction made by an equation modeled is correct.

Firstly let’s look at the equation in question;

y = 3t - 6

where y is the snow depth and t is the number of hours after midnight.

now we are looking at 7am, that’s 7 hours past 12am, meaning 7 hours after midnight.

let’s plug the value of t as 7 into the equation

y = 3(7) - 6

y = 21-6

y = 15 inches

according to the equation by Kevin, what is expected is 15 inches deep snow but what we have is 12 inches deep snow. The equation has failed in its prediction.

6a+(8b+2a)=6a+(2a+8b)=0 <br><br>please help me solve this
solniwko [45]
<span>Simplifying (6a + -8b)(6a + 8b) = 0 Multiply (6a + -8b) * (6a + 8b) (6a * (6a + 8b) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((6a * 6a + 8b * 6a) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 Reorder the terms: ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (6a * -8b + 8b * -8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (-48ab + -64b2)) = 0 Reorder the terms: (48ab + -48ab + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Combine like terms: 48ab + -48ab = 0 (0 + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 (36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Solving 36a2 + -64b2 = 0 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '64b2' to each side of the equation. 36a2 + -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 + 64b2 Combine like terms: -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 36a2 + 0 = 0 + 64b2 36a2 = 0 + 64b2 Remove the zero: 36a2 = 64b2 Divide each side by '36'. a2 = 1.777777778b2 Simplifying a2 = 1.777777778b2 Take the square root of each side: a = {-1.333333333b, 1.333333333b}</span>
