Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the second equation for a to later on replace it in the first equation.
Now plug this into the first equation.
Distribute the 9
Break down the fraction.
Simplify.
Subtract 
Combine like terms.
Muliply by the reciprocal or inverted fraction next to b.
Now plug this value into any of the equations to find the value of a.
Let x = price of the bike before a sales tax.
The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars
Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50
Answer: 158.50
Complementary angles add up to 90*. Therefore, the logical answer would be
D, 77.
Steps to simplify:
(2x + 3)(x - 7)
~Use FOIL to multiply
(2x * x) + (2 * -7) + (3 * x) + (3 * -7)
~Simplify
=2x² - 14x + 3x - 21
~Combine Like Terms
2x² + (-14x + 3x) - 21
~Simplify
2x² - 11x - 21 (Option 2)
Best of Luck!
The formula for the radius of a sphere is:
r(s) = sqrt[s/(4pi)]
This is based on the formula that s = 4pi*r^2
As can be seen, as the surface area increases, s/4pi increases, and sqrt(s/4pi) will also increase, meaning that the radius will increase. This continues until the balloon reaches the maximum s = 1500 cm^2.
The correct answer is the first choice:
<span>As the surface area of the balloon increases, the radius of the balloon increases until the maximum surface area is reached.</span>
