As a smart consumer, you are always on the lookout for sales, coupons, and rebates. While shopping for new clothes, you notice t

hat one particular brand of shirts is on sale for 20% off the original price. You also have a coupon for $10 off a $40 purchase. Coupons are applied after the 20% discount is taken. If each shirt originally costs $17.99, how many shirts would you need to buy to be able to use your coupon? Show your work
You’d have to buy 3 shirts, with the 20% off the shirts would come out to $14.39. So $14.39 x 3 = $43.17. Now with the $10 off a $40 purchase your total cost would be $33.17.

Answer:

You'd have to buy 3 shirts in order to use your coupon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each shirt originally costs $17.99

One particular brand of shirts is on sale for 20% off the original price.

$17.99*0.2= $3.60 (amount taken off for each shirt)

Now subtract $3.60 from $17.99.

$17.99 - $3.60 = $14.39 (per shirt)

40 / 14.39 = 2.779 (round to 3)

You'd have to buy 3 shirts in order to use your coupon.

$14.39 * 3 = $43.17, in order to get $10 off you'd need to spend at least $40

For A you would have to convert from that equation to the slope-intercept form of the equation. To do that, first add 2x to both sides, because you want to have x on the right side of the equation. And that's it! That gives you 4y = 2x + 8. And from that equation you can identify the slope (2) and the y-int (8)

For B, the same thing. Converting to slope-intercept form, just with an extra step. First, you would subtract 1y from both sides to move it to the left of the equal sign, since that's where it needs to be for slope-intercept form. That gives you -1y + 7 = -x. Don't worry about the negatives for now. Next, subtract 7 from both sides to get y by itself on the left (because that's how it is in slope-intercept form) which gives you -1y = -x - 7. Then, because you can't have negative variables, divide both sides by negative 1 (a negative divided by a negative equals a positive), to equal y = x + 7. (I've attached a picture showing my steps if the words are too confusing)

For C, you need to find the slope first, then use the slope to find the y-intercept. So subtract. (I've shown in the picture) that equals -8 over 4 which simplifies to -2. So -2 is the slope! Now to find the y-intercept, plug in an ordered pair from the problem (doesn't matter which one) and the slope to find the y-intercept (b). I'm just going to use (-2, 5). So plug in the y from the pair (5) and the slope (-2) and the x from the pair (-2) into the slope-intercept equation to equal 5 = -2(-2) + b. Since you don't know b (the y-intercept) leave it blank and solve like a one step equation! (steps in the picture). And there you have it, the slope is -2 and the y-int is 1!

For D, it's like C, but you dont have the chart. Use subtraction to find the slope. Change in y over change in x (which means subtract the y values and divide them by the difference in x values). So. You'd do 0 - 3 over -6 - 3 which equals -3 over -9, which simplifies to 1/3. And that's your slope! So to find the y-int just do the same thing you did in the last problem, plug in an ordered pair and the slope into the slope-intercept equation and solve as a one step equation (steps in picture). And there you have it, the slope which is 1/3, and the y-int which is 2.

For the parallelogram find the value of x,y,and z
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

X = 119, Y = 61, Z = 119

Step-by-step explanation:

These are supplementary angles and equal 180.

180 - 61 = 119

Opposite angles are congruent

Explain why f(x) = x^2+4x+3/x^2-x-2 is not continuous at x = -1.
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The value of x = -1 makes the denominator of the function equal to zero. That is why this value is not included in the domain of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression

f(x) = \frac{x^2+4x+3}{x^2-x-2}

Since the division between zero is not defined then the function f(x) can not include the values of x that make the denominator of the function zero.

Now we search that values of x make 0 the denominator factoring the polynomial x^2-x-2

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result -1 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain -2 as a result.

These numbers are -2 and 1

Then the factors are:

(x-2) (x + 1)

We do the same with the numerator

x^2+4x+3

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result 4 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain 3 as a result.

These numbers are 3 and 1

Then the factors are:

(x+3)(x + 1)

Therefore

f(x) = \frac{(x+3)(x+1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}

Note that \frac{(x+1)}{(x+1)}=1 only if x \neq -1

So since x = -1 is not included in the domain the function has a discontinuity in x = -1

The area of a playground is 336 yd2. The width of the playground is 5 yd longer than its length. Find the length and width of th
kondaur [170]
L=16
W=21

Set up a systems of equations: 
x=length 
y=width 

xy=336
x+5=y

Use substitution to solve: 
x(x+5)=336
x^2+5x=336 

Solve using factoring: 
x^2+5x-336=0
(x-16)(x+21)=0
x=16 and x= -21 
Since length can't be negative, l=16 

To find width, plug length into the first equation: 
(16)y=336
y=21 

So...
L=16
<span>W=21</span>
