Answer: There are 40 cars and 5 motorcycles at the end of buying and selling. He started with 9 motorcycles and 36 cars.


Step-by-step explanation:

x=# of motorcycles         4x=# of cars

8(x-4)=4x+4

8x-32=4x+4

4x=36

x=9

---

4(9)+4=36+4=40

9-4=5

Answer:

Now in the Garage he has 40 cars and 5 motorcycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

let

Number of motorcycles = x

He had 4 times more cars than motorcycles,so,Number of cars = 4x

He bought 4 more cars, so equation becomes: 4x+4

And sold 4 motorcycles,so: x-4

now there were 8 times more cars than motorcycles:

so we equate it like this:

8(x-4)=4x+4

solving the above equation:

8x-32=4x+4

4x=36

we find the value of X.

which is: x=9

Now put it in the equation of cars to find out number of cars

the equation was: 4x+4

solving it:

no of cars = 4(9)+4

=36+4

No of cars =40.

Now solving it for motorcycles: x-4

9-4

no of motorcycles = 5

Graph the line that has a slope of 1/9 and includes the point (0,8)
Crank

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 1/9

y int (b) = 8.....or (0,8)

y = 1/9x + 8.....this is ur equation

ur x intercept is : (can be found by subbing in 0 for y

0 = 1/9x + 8

-1/9x = 8

x = 8 * -9

x = - 72....or (-72,0)

A sport watch with an original price of $86 is on sale for $60.20. What is the percent of discount?
Anarel [89]
You need to first calculate the amount of lost money, which is 86-60.2=25.8 To find the discount, you need to put this over the initial price, or 86. This equals 0.3, which is 30 percent.

Need help of simplifying each sum or difference
dimaraw [331]
First you need to get a common denominator. The first two problems already have a common denominator, so you just have to find the sum and difference of the two problems, respectively. 

6.) (9y-3)/(y^2-5)

8.) 3/xy^3

Two find a common denominator, find the smallest value that has BOTH denominators as factors. 

10.) 8x^3*y^3 is the common denominator

Answer: 2/(8*x^3*y^3)

12.) Factor x^2 + 4x + 4 to get (x+2)(x+2)

Therefore, x+2 is already part of x^2 + 4x + 4

(x+4)/(x^2+4x+4)

14.) Factor both denominators..

4(y+2) and y(y+2)

So the common denominator would be 4y(y+2)

The first fraction is missing a "y" so multiply the numerator by y to get y^2

The second fraction is missing a "4" so multiply the numerator by 4 to get 4

(y^2 - 4)/(4y(y+2))

So can factor the numerator to get (y+2)(y-2). There if a (y+2) on top and bottom so they cancel out. 

Answer: (y-2)/4y
