4
5x - 4 = 16
Add four to both sides
5x = 20
Divide both sides by 5
x = 4

The tax on a property with an assessed value of $90,000 is $1,200. What is the assessed value of a property if the tax is $2,200

Ivanshal [37]

I'm not 100% sure but this is how I would try.
If you don't get a better answer, check this w/your teacher.

x/100 *90,000 = 1200

90,000x = 120,000

x = 1.3% tax percentage

1.3/100x = 2200

1.3x = 220,000

x = $169,230.77 assessed value

Explain the difference between the slant height of a pyramid and the height of the pyramid.

dexar [7]

See the diagram below.
$h$ is the height, and $s$ is the slant height.

The height is the distance from the base of the pyramid to the vertex (the top of the pyramid). It runs perpendicular to the base.

The slant height is the distance from the base of the triangles which make up its sides to the vertex. It runs perpendicular to this base as well.
