I am pretty sure the correct answer is D.
Important fact: The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of one another. Thus, if the given line here has the slope 1/4, the slope of any line perpendicular to it will be -4 (the negative reciprocal of 1/4).
(0,2) is the y intercept of the new line.
Thus, the new line's equation is y = mx + b, or y = -4x + 2.
Answer:
He paid $6,000 in taxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
His final amount after taxes is $24000. In order to obtain this number we had to tax 20% of the total (Note that 100%-20%=80%). In other words if he was taxed 20% he took home 80% of what he was paid. Therefore mathematically we have:
Since we know he was left with $24000 after taxes then:
So originally he had $30,000. So how much did he pay in taxes? We can calculate the difference of both pretax and after tax and we get:
$30,000 - $24,000= $6,000 taxed
Answer:
E: x = 13
F: x = 1.5 or 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is for E:
x + 2/3 = 5
All you do is first multiply 5 * 3
and you will get 15
x + 2 = 15
Then you subtract from 15
15 - 2 = 13
So x = 13
This is for F:
10(x - 1) = 5
So all you do is distribute the 100 with x -1
10 * x = 100x
10 * -1 = 100
10x - 10 = 5
Then you add 10 to 15 because the number is -10
5 + 10 = 15
10x = 15
Now you divide by 10 on both sides
10x/10 = 15/10
10x/10 = x
15/10 = 3/2
So the answer for F is 3/2 or 1.5
