X=value of the house before increase

(100%+29%)X=516,000

(129%)X=516,000

1.29x=516,000 | divided by 1.29 both sides

X=400,000$ was the value when it was purchased

Answer:

The value of house $ 400,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of house when it was purchased,

∵ 29% of x = \frac{29x}{100} = 0.29x

According to the question,

x + 29% of x = 516000

x + 0.29x = 516000

1.29x = 516000

\implies x=\frac{516000}{1.29}=400000

Hence, the value of the house is $ 400,000 when it was purchased.

Look at number 17. What did I do wrong?
Gnesinka [82]
When you are checking your answers, your formula should read out as 9(2.222) - 8 = 12, which is simply filing in the x value that you calculated (it comes out to 11.998 which is correct). You wrote it out as 9(2.22) - 8 = -6, which is why your checking process was incorrect

The ratio of men to women in a room is 3:4. Eight women enter the room, no men enter the room and none of the original people in
vampirchik [111]
There are 64 people in the room.

Since the ratio for women increases 1 when 8 women enter the room, for every time there is 1 in the ratio there are 8 people. That means that originally you have to do 3x8 and 4x8. You get 24 and 32 which equals 56. Then when 8 more women enter the room, you get 64.

Noah’s remote control car moved 12 feet in 6 seconds. Which graph has a slope that best represents Noah’s car’s average rate of
vaieri [72.5K]

We want to find a graph that represents Noah's average speed.

We define the average speed as the quotient between the distance moved and the time it takes to move that distance, then in this case we will have:

s = 12ft/6s = 2ft/s

Then we can define a linear equation:

y = (2ft/s)*x

As the distance that Noah travels in x seconds.

The graph of the given linear function can be seen below, and that is the graph with the slope that best represents Noah's average speed.

PLEASE HELP ME I AM HORRIBLE AT TRIGONOMETRY!!! TRIANGLES ARE SO HARD!!!
OleMash [197]

Answer:

A construction worker may use trigonometry when building the roof of a house. They may have to calculate the right angle that hypotenuse must sit at so water doesn't build up on the roof and cause leaks.

(this may be more of an architect's job, as they are the ones that design the houses)

or

An air traffic controller may use trigonometry to find how long it will take an airplane to land/how far the airplane is from the ground while it is in the sky (hypotenuse), based on its height from the ground (opposite) and the distance away from the runway it is (adjacent). They can also calculate the angle of elevation of the airplane from the tower they work in.
