The way I like to solve proportions is by cross multiplying and dividing. First yo multiply the diagonals and then you divide by the other number. So if your proportion is 7/5 = x/3, your equation would be 7*3/5.  So 7*3 is 21, so your equation is now 21/5.  With some long division, you'll see that 21/5 = 4.2  That's your answer, feel free to ask more questions if you need!!(:

7/5=x/3
so multiply them diagonally. 7*3=21 and 5*x=5x
5x=21
divide it by 5
so....
5x/5=21/5
x=4.2

What is the interval notation for the graph shown below?
Scrat [10]
<h3>Answer: Bottom left corner (southwest corner)</h3>

(4, \infty)

The left endpoint is x = 4, but we don't include this endpoint because of the open hole. We use a parenthesis to indicate "don't include the endpoint"

The right endpoint is positive infinity. We always use a parenthesis with either infinity since we cannot reach infinity

The interval from 4 to infinity is written as (4, \infty) which is like saying 4 < x < \infty

Elijah waited until June u,2017 to file his 1040 for tax year 2016. His balance due is $88. What is the failure to file penalty?
Ad libitum [116K]
The failure to file penalty refers to the amount of money that a tax payer has to pay as penalty for not filing his tax before the assigned deadline. The failure to pay penalty is 0.5% of the tax balance that is owned per month.
Thus, for Elijah, who is owning $88, the failure to pay penalty is 0.5% *88 = $0.44.
Elijah has to pay $0.44 per month for the period during which he withhold the tax.
