A man buys four books from the store and a preferred reader discount card for $20. Later that day, he goes back and buys five mo

re books. He also got $5 discount using his new card. If he spent a total of $87 at the bookstore, how much did each book cost assuming every book cost the same amount?

Let x be the cost of each book.

So, the cost of 4 books is 4x.

For the purchase of 4 books, he got a discount of $20.

So, the amount he paid for the first four books = 4x - 20.

Now, the cost of 5 books is 5x.

For the purchase of 5 books, he got another discount of $5.

So, the amount he paid for the five books = 5x - 5.

Total money spent = $87.

Therefore, (4x - 20) + (5x - 5) = 87

4x + 5x - 20 - 5 = 87

9x - 25 = 87

9x = 87 + 25

9x = 112

Divide both sides by 9.

x = 12.4

Hence, the cost of each book = $12.4.

Help on 9 &amp; 10 please!
Mandarinka [93]

Step-by-step explanation:

9. x and z are equal. y+z=90

   148-x=180 x+148 are supplementary

   -148    -148 Subtract 148 from both sides to isolate x

         x=32 degrees

         z=32 degrees b/c x and z are equal

 y+z=90 y and z are complementary

 y+(32)=90 Substitute 32 in for z

   -32     -32

 y         =58 degrees

10. (4x-25)=(2x+7) B/c of the bisection, the two angles are equal.

     4x-25  =2x+7 Remove parenthesis

      -2x       -2x Subtract 2x from both sides

     2x-25  =    +7

          +25       +25 Add 25 to both sides to isolate x

    2x         =     32

     /2                 /2 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

     x            =     16

 (4(16)-25)+(2(16)+7)=78 degrees Substitute 16 into the equation, this time adding the values instead of setting them equal to get the angle measure requested.

11. (6x-47)+(x+4)=90 Angles that are complementary add up to 90 degrees

    7x-43            =90 Add like terms

         +43             +43 Add 43 to both sides to isolate x

   7x                    =133

   /7                       /7 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x

     x                     =19

((19)+4)=23 degrees Substitute x into the angle measure requested

12. 180=2x-9+x Use the words to help you determine what each value is.

     180=3x-9 Add like terms

     +9        +9 Add 9 to both sides to isolate x

     189=3x

     /3     /3 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

     63=x

 2(63)-9=177 degrees Substitute 63 into x to find the requested angle measure.

-<br>Write the equation for tan 32.​
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

If the angle is 32, then the tan of 32 degrees will be 0.625.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is useful because if you know either Opposite or Adjacent length, you can enter it in the equation above and solve for the missing length.

You can also re-write the equation above to solve for Opposite and Adjacent to get the following new equations:

Opposite = 0.625 x Adjacent

Adjacent = Opposite / 0.625

Solve y = x + 6 for X.<br> x= y + 6<br> x= -y + 6<br> x = y - 6<br> x= -y - 6
damaskus [11]

Answer:

x=y-6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, flip the equation.

x+6=y

Finally, add -6 to both sides.

x+6+−6=y+−6

x=y−6
