Answer:
Rita paid 47,500 dollars for the purchase price.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car which means there is is something k such that
when you multiply it to the sales tax you get the purchase price.
Let's set this equation:
y=kx
Let y represent the purchase price and x the sales tax.
The second sentence tells us that (x,y)=(1500,30000).
We can plug this into y=kx to find the constant k. (Constant means it stays the same no matter what the input and output is).
So we have:
30000=k(1500)
300 =k(15) I went ahead and divided previous equation by 100.
Now divide both sides by 15:
300/15=k
Simplify:
20=k
So the equation to use the answer the question is
y=20x
where y is purchase price and x is sales tax.
So we want to know the purchase price on a car if the sales tax is 2375.
So replace x with 2375:
y=20(2375)
y=47500
25x² + 1 = 5
25x² + 1 - 5 = 0
25x² - 4 = 0 By difference of two squares
(5x)² - (2)² = 0
(5x - 2)(5x + 2) = 0
5x - 2 = 0 or 5x + 2 = 0
5x = 0 + 2 5x = 0 - 2
5x = 2 5x = -2
x = 2/5 x = -2/5
x = 0.4 x = -0.4
x = + 0.4 or -0.4
Answer: No, they are not collinear.

brainly.com/question/10629871How do you calculate it? You start by expressing the density in the units you have. Then you multiply by appropriate conversion factors to get to the units you want. Treat units as though they were any other variable. A value cancels that appears in both the numerator and denominator of a fraction.
