If you would like to know what is the selling price of the sweater, you can calculate this using the following steps:

40% of x is $8
40% * x = 8
40/100 * x = 8 /*100/40
x = 8 * 100 / 40
x = $20

Result: The selling price of the sweater is $20.

Use ratios: $\frac{40}{100} = \frac{8}{?}$

Since 40/8=5, then you do the same on the bottom. 100/5=20, so the sweater was originally $20.

Choose the equation of a circle with radius 6 and center (2, -3).

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: $(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36\\\\$

Work Shown:

$(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-2)^2 + (y-(-3))^2 = 6^2\\\\(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36\\\\$

Note that (h,k) = (2,-3) is the center and r = 6 is the radius. The last line is not expanded out using the FOIL rule because its common practice to leave it in $(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\$ form. This form allows the reader to quickly determine the center and radius (rather than have to do a lot of algebraic steps before hand).

if pentagon abcd was reflected over the axis y-axis, reflected over the x-axis, and rotated 180, where would be point A' lie

frez [133]

A reflection over the x axis coupled with another reflection over the y axis leads to a rotation of 180 degrees.

In other words,

Start with point A. Reflect over the x axis to get point B. Reflect B over the y axis to get point C. To go from A to C, we can rotate A 180 degrees about the origin.

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

So this means that if we do those reflections and then do the rotation, then we end up back where we started. Wherever point A is located, the point A' will also be located at the same position with the same coordinates.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{2x+1}{x+4}$ = $\frac{40}{25}$ = $\frac{8}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )
