Answer:

$51.70 is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Turn 40% into a decimal which makes it 0.40

ex. 50% would be 0.50, 5% would be 0.05 etc.

Step 2:

Put the numbers into this formula: Original Price (x) - Percent Off times Original Price = Sales Price

x - 0.40x = 31.02  this is basically 1x - 0.40x = 31.02 so,

Solving the left side of our equation gives us 1x - 0.40x = 0.60x

so now you have: 0.60x = 31.02

Step 3:

Divide both sides by 0.60 which gets x by itself and gives us the original price which is $51.70

Write the quadratic equation y= x^2 -6x = 7 in vertex form.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

(x - 3)² - 16 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Subtract 7 from both sides

x² - 6x + 7 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 1, b = - 6

Given a quadratic in standard form then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

x_{vertex} = - \frac{b}{2a} = - \frac{-6}{2} = 3

Substitute x = 3 into the equation for y

y = 3² - 6(3) - 7 = 9 - 18 - 7 = - 16 ⇒ (h, k) = (3, - 16)

y = (x - 3)² - 16 = 0
