Answer:

Solution for 4x-12=20 equation:

4x - 12 = 20  

4x = 20 + 12  

4x = 32 (divide both sides by 4 to get x)  

4x/4 = 32/4  

x = 8

Answer: x = 8

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

4x - 12 = 20

<u>     +12 </u>  <u>+12 </u>

4x       =  32

   \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{32}{4}

      x   =  8

the backyard if a new home is shaped like a trapezoid with a height of 46 ft and bases of 73 ft and 114 ft. what is the cost of
Doss [256]

Answer:

$989.23

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost will be the product of the area in square feet and the cost per square foot.

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula ...

... A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h . . . . . where b1 and b2 are the base lengths, h is the height

Filling in the given information, the area is ...

... A = (1/2)(73 ft +114 ft)(46 ft) = 4301 ft²

Since each square foot costs $0.23, this number of square feet will cost ...

... (4301 ft²)×$0.23/ft² = $989.23

The landscaper will charge $989.23 to put sod on the backyard.

would someone help me out with this question? I got it wrong the first time but I don't understand how.​
OleMash [197]

Answers:

Choice 2) Angle ABC is bisected by ray BD.

Choice 3) BC = 1/2 AC

Choice 5) 2*(angle DBC) = angle ABC

================================================

Explanation:

Since B is the midpoint of AC, this means that AC is cut in half to form the smaller equal pieces AB and BC

We can then say

AB+BC = AC

BC+BC = AC

2BC = AC

BC = (1/2)*AC

which shows why choice 3 is one of the answers

----------------------

Angle ABD is shown to be 90 degrees. Let's say we didn't know angle DBC is also 90. Lets call it x

(angle ABD) + (angle DBC) = 180

90 + x = 180

x = 180 - 90

x = 90

So angle DBC is also 90.

We can see that the 180 degree angle (ABC) is cut in half into two smaller 90 degree angles (ABD and DBC). Therefore, angle ABC has been cut in half and that's why choice 2 is another answer.

------------------------

Using the angle addition postulate, we know that,

(angle ABD) + (angle DBC) = angle ABC

(angle DBC) + (angle DBC) = angle ABC

2*(angle DBC) = angle ABC

Showing why choice 5 is the third answer.

------------------------

Choice 1 isn't true since ray BD helps form angle DBC.

Choice 4 isn't true because there isn't a tickmark on segment BD to indicate it's the same length as BC.

What is the discount price os a skateboard that cost $155.80 on sale for 20% off
pshichka [43]
Here's an example of %
20% = 0.2
2% = 0.02

when multiplying with decimals in place you always add up the two periods, 155.8 × 0.2 = 31.16
since the dot is one over for both you add 1 + 1 which equals 2, then when you get 31.16 you move over 2 decimal points, making it 31.16
btw the answer is when you subtract 31.16 from 155.80 which would be 124.64$ for your final cost.

Suppose you have a set of data points with a correlation of 0.85. What is the variance? A. Variance = √ r = 0.92195 B. Variance
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

B. Variance = r2 = 0.7225

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the correlation coefficient, variance is obtained by squaring the correlation coefficient to obtain what is also know as coefficient of determination. Gives information on the predictive power of the model
