If your question is, "how much had Mr. Kork paid for the car?"

(8,400-200)/.4=$20,500

Achristensen's answer is correct. Just want to add a little more explanation how to arrive at the result.

let x be the original price.

Rewrite the verbal question as an equation using x:

8400 = 200 + 2/5 * x

solve for x:

8400-200 = 2/5*x

5/2*8200 = x

x = 20500

The original price was $20,500

Please Help, Will give Brainliest! Law Of Cosines.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

B) a = 6.7, B = 36°, C = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the numbers in the Law of Cosines formula to find the value of "a".

a² = b² + c² -2bc·cos(A)

a² = 4² +5² -2(4)(5)cos(95°) ≈ 44.4862

a ≈ √44.4862 ≈ 6.66980

Now, the law of sines is used to find one of the remaining angles. The larger angle will be found from ...

sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a

sin(C) = (c/a)sin(A)

C = arcsin(5/6.6698×sin(95°)) ≈ 48.31°

The third angle is ...

B = 180° -A -C = 180° -95° -48.31° = 36.69°

The closest match to a = 6.7, B = 37°, C = 48° is answer choice B.

Answer:

$57.2\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

In this problem

The tangent of angle of 5 degrees is equal to the quotient of "rise over run"

Let

y ----> the rise of the ramp

x ----> the run of the ramp

$tan(5^o)=\frac{y}{x}$

we have

$y=5\ ft$

substitute and solve for x

$tan(5^o)=\frac{5}{x}$

$x=\frac{5}{tan(5^o)}$

$x=57.2\ ft$

Solve 2x2 + 12x − 14 = 0 by completing the square, options: A. 2(x + 6)2 = 26; x = −6 + square root 13, x = −6 − square root 13

musickatia [10]

I just solved this one
anothe way is undistribute the 2 first and move -14 to side
2(x^2+6x)-14=0
comlete the squer inside and add negative
2(x^2+6x+9-9)-14=0
factor perfect square
2((x+3)^2-9)-14=0
distribute
2(x+3)^2-18-14=0
2(x+3)^2-32=0
add 32 both sides
2(x+3)^2=32
divide 2
(x+3)^2=16
sqrt both sides
x+3=+/-4
minus 3
x=-4-3 or 4-3
x=1 or -7

answer is C
