Answer:

30% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent discount write a proportion.

$\frac{1344}{1920}=\frac{x}{100}$

Cross multiply numerator with denominator of each fraction to solve for x.

1344(100) = 1920(x)

134400 = 1920x

70 = x

This means you pay 70% of the price. The discount was 30%.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct a perpendicular bisector of segment AB.

Perpendicular bisector is a line that divides the line into two equal halves forming 90° at the intersection point.

So, points A and B will be at the same distance from the intersection point.

If the constructed line (perpendicular bisector) is the reflection axis, then point B will be the refection point of A.

What is the sum of the first 6 terms of this geometric sequence? –4, –16, –64, –256, …

MatroZZZ [7]

$a_1=-4;\ a_2=-16;\ a_3=-64;\ a_4=-256;\ ...\\\\r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\to r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}\to r=\dfrac{-16}{-4}=4$

The formula of the sum of a geometric sequence:

$S_n=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

We have:

$a_1=-4;\ n=6;\ r=4$

substitute:

$S_6=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-4^6}{1-4}=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-4096}{-3}=-4\cdot\dfrac{-4095}{-3}=-4\cdot1365=-5460$

Answer:

P = 6x-2

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter, we add the sides

P = 4x-8 + 3-2x + 5x+3

Combine like terms

P = 4x-3x+5x -8+3+3

= 6x -2

Now we know the perimeter

82 = 6x-2

Add 2 to each side

82+2 = 6x-2+2

84 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

84/6 = 6x/6

14=x
