Answer: $9.91

Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is $9.91 for the jeans. This is calculated by divided the total paid ($10.11) by 1.02, which represents the cost of the jeans + the 2% interest. 10.11 / 1.02 = $9.91.

You can then double check you work by calculating the 2% interest rate of the jeans. $9.91 x 2% = $ .20. The total is $9.91 for the jeans plus $ .20 for the tax, for a total of $10.11, which is the amount in the original problem.

Which equation does NOT represent direct variation? A. Y=x/21 B. y/x=5/8 C. y-3= 3x D. y-5x=0
Serjik [45]
The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear. I believe the answer is C. Hope I helped!

-2x+2y=6 7x-8y=-27 what is the solution
navik [9.2K]
-2x+2y=6
7x-8y=-27
5x-6y=-21
-x+y=3
6x-7y=-24
6x-7y=-4(-2x+2y)
6x-7y=8x-8y
-6x from both sides:
-7y=2x-8y
add 8y to both sides:
y=2x
-2x+2y=6
2y-6=2x
2y-6=-12
-6-6=-12
y=-3
x=-6

Hope this helps :)

At what steps in the process could a bill die?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The bill returns to the house of origin.

If the bill advances with amendments, it returns to the house of origin. The house of origin may fail to take action, and the bill “dies.” The legislative body may vote to approve the changes made by the second chamber.
