Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: the discount on the original price is a 20% discount, so it is 20% of x, or 0.2x.

We are told the discount is $3, so 0.2x = 3. Now we solve the equation for x.

0.2x = 3

Divide both sides by 0.2.

x = 3/0.2

x = 15

The regular price is $15.

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

x = original price

x* 20% = 3

Change to decimal form

x*.2 = 3

Divide each side by .2

x*.2 /.2 = 3/.2

x =15

The original price is 15

Selling price is 15-3 = 12

Which of the following could represent the scale factor of the larger figure to the smaller figure?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

3:2 and 21:14

Step-by-step explanation:

The same side on the larger and smaller cylinders is 30 and 20 respectively or 18 to 12

Simplify:

30:20 => 3:2

18:12 => 3:2

Therefore, the answer is 3:2

However, in addition you can multiply 3 by 7 to get 21 and 2 by 7 to get 14, so 21:14 also works

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that goes through points (1,8) and (5,20)
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

y=3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope equation:

y=mx+b

m-slope, b- is y-intercept

equation given 2 points

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

For point (1,8) and slope m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = 20-8/5-1=12/4=3

y-8 =3(x-1)

arange it in point slope format

y-8=3x-3

y=3x-3+8

y=3x+5

Traveling with the wind, Jerry takes 10 minutes to bicycle to a local library 2.5 km away. Coming back against the wind, it take
olganol [36]

7.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assign the speed of Jerry in still air as <em>x </em> (in km/h)

Let's assign the speed of the wind as <em>y </em>(in km/h)

With the wind as Jerry’s back, he takes 10 minutes to get to the library. We can create the following equation. (<em>we are converting the minutes to hours by dividing by 60</em>);

2.5 / (x + y) = 10/60

10x + 10y = 150

x + y = 15

With the wind against Jerry, he takes 15 minutes from the library. We can create the following equation;

2.5 / (x-y) = 15/60

15x – 15y = 150

x – y = 10

We can now solve the simultaneous equation by subtraction;

x + y = 15

x – y = 10

2y = 5

y = 5/2 = 2.5

y = 2.5 km/h

x = 7.5 km/h
