I'm going to do this problem with mathematical equations (I chose x to represent the first, y as the second, and z as the third)
so according to the first sentence, x+y+z=270
the second sentence is saying x+y=z+98
and the third sentence says z-47=x

I would first plug x in to my middle equation
(z-47)+y=z+98
then add 47 to both sides to get z+y=z+145
In this case we are lucky because as we go to subtract z they cancel out and we get y=145 

Now plug y and x (in terms of z) into the first equation 
(z-47)+145+z=270
subtract 47 from 145 to get 98
 subtract that from 270 to give you z+z=172 
simplify 2z=172
divide by 2 to get z=86

Now go back and plug in z to the bottom equation,
86-47=x so x is equal to 39

Overall we got x=39, y=145 and z=86
To make sure these answers are correct we want to plug the back into our original equations.
39+145+86=270 True!
39+145=184=86+98 True!
and finally 86-47=39 True!
So we know that these numbers are correct

*Just so you know it doesn't really matter which equation you plug in you substituted values into, or which one you solve for first, it's all just a matter of preference....

klio [65]

Answer:

Cost\ of\ gift=\$ 388.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Price=\$450

Discount:

Discount=20\%

20\%\ of\ 450=\frac{20}{100}\times 450=90\\\\Discounted\ Price=450-90=\$360

Tax:

Tax=8\%

8\%\ of\ 360=\frac{8}{100}\times 360=28.8\\\\Final\ cost=360+28.8=\$388.8

aleksandrvk [35]
The mean proportion is p = 36/120 = 0.3.
The standard deviation of the proportion will be sqrt(p*(1-p)/n) = sqrt(0.3*0.7/120) = 0.0418. We multiply this by the z-score of 1.645 to get a deviation of 0.0688.
Therefore, the confidence interval is (0.3 - 0.0688, 0.3 + 0.0688), which is
(0.2312, 0.3688).

What is the length of the cylinder's height? Please help​
raketka [301]

Answer:

  • Height = <u>9</u><u> </u>cm which means <u>Option </u><u>C </u>is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question we are given ,

  • Volume of cylinder = <u>2</u><u>2</u><u>5</u><u>π</u><u> </u><u>cm³</u>

  • Radius of cylinder = <u>5 cm</u>

And , we have to find the <u>height</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>cylinder</u><u> </u>.

We know that ,

\longrightarrow \pink{ \boxed{Volume \:  of \:  Cylinder = \pi r {}^{2}h  }} \longleftarrow

Our solution starts from here :

\longmapsto \: \pi \: r {}^{2} h = 225\pi

<u>Step </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Cancelling π with π :

\longmapsto \:  \cancel{\pi} \: r {}^{2} h = 225 \cancel{\pi}

<u>Step </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Substituting value of radius which is 5 cm in the formula :

\longmapsto \: (5) {}^{2}  \times h = 225

\longmapsto \: 25h = 225

<u>Step </u><u>3 </u><u>:</u> Transposing 25 to right hand side :

\longmapsto \: h =  \frac{225}{25}

<u>Step </u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Cancelling 225 by 25 :

\longmapsto \:   \red{\boxed{h = 9 \: cm}}

  • <u>Henceforth</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>height</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>cylinder</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>cm</u>

Prove that x=2 if 4^x=8x...where ^ stands for "to the power of".
Romashka [77]
In order to prove this, you simply plug in the number 2 everywhere you see X:

4^(2) = 8(2). 

Simplify

16 = 16 √

Since this checks out, x is proven to be 2.
