Larger: x
smaller: 180 - x

x + 16 = 3 (180 - x)
distribute the 3
x + 16 = 540 - 3x
subtract 16 from both sides
x = 524 - 3x
add 3x to both sides
4x = 524
divide both sides by 4
x = 131 (larger)
180 - 131 = 49 (smaller)

A particular style of jacket costs the retailer $85 per jacket. At what price should the retailer mark them so he can sell them
postnew [5]

Answer:

$130

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost = 85

To make 30% profit, he would need to sell them at:

85 + (0.3)(85) = 110.5

Now, he would need to sell them at 110.5 AFTER giving  a 15% discount. So essentially we are asking, "<em>What number discounted (decreased) by 15% would give us 110.5??"</em>

<em />

We can let that price be x and write the equation:

x - (0.15)(x) = 110.5

x - 0.15x = 110.5

0.85x = 110.5

x = 110.5/0.85 = 130

The retailer should mark the jacket at $130

1-7x-7=15 Solve Please I don't know.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we combine like terms on the left

1-7=-6

then we have

-7x-6=15

next we add 6 both sides

-7x-6=15

   +6   +6

-7x=21

then we divide -7 each side

we get

x=-3

The school cafeteria served 2,560 cups of milk in March and 1,560 cups of milk in April. How many quarts of milk did the cafeter
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

1,030 quarts in two months

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would add the two months together like: 2,560 + 1,560 = 4,120

Then you would divide I think 4,120 by 4 which would look like: 4,120/4

You should get 1,030.  I'm not sure if I did this right so rip ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Simplify please and show steps:<br><br> Sec (x) tan (x) csc (x) cot (x) sin (x) cos (x)
Airida [17]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all transform the expression using trigonometric identities

That's

\sec(x)  =  \frac{1}{ \cos(x) }

\csc(x )   =  \frac{1}{ \sin(x) }

\cot(x)  =  \frac{1}{ \tan(x) }

So we have

\frac{1}{ \cos(x) }  \times  \tan(x)  \times  \frac{1}{ \sin(x) }  \times  \frac{1}{ \tan(x) }  \times  \sin(x)  \times  \cos(x)

Reduce the expression with tan x

We have

\frac{1}{ \cos(x) }   \times \cos(x)  \times  \frac{1}{ \sin(x) }  \times  \sin(x)

Reduce the expression with cos x

That's

1 \times  \frac{1}{ \sin(x) }  \times  \sin(x)

Reduce the expression with sin x

We have

1 \times 1

We have the final answer as

<h3>1</h3>

Hope this helps you
