The answer is 72. One-third of 72 is 24. One-half of 72 is 36. 24 is 12 less than 36.

75% OFF!

$676.

If the sale price of the coat is $169, you are looking for the original price. I like to think about it in the sense that if an item is 75% off, you are paying 25% of the original amount. Using that logic, in order to determine the sale price you would use the equation

Original price * 25% = $169

To solve for the original price:

Original price = $169/.25 = $676.

A line has the same slope as the line 3x+9y=5 and passes though the point (-1,2).what is the equation of the line?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve the equation. Simply put it is y = -1/3x + 5/9.

So, we have our slope which is -1/3. Now just plug it in.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -1/3(x - (-1))

Distribute.

y - 2 = -1/3x - 1/3

Add 2 to both sides

you get y=-1/3x + 5/3

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

28, 30, 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive even numbers are three even numbers that are next to each other. For example, 2, 4 and 6 would be 3 consecutive even numbers.

With this sort of problem, you want to try to let each number be equal to one thing and then construct the same number of equations as you have variables:

Let's let,

Integer 1 = X

Integer 2 = Y

Integer 3 = Z

X + Y + Z = 90

We also know, that

Y = X + 2

And that

Z = X + 4

Now, we can sub these equations into the first equation. We do this so that we have everything represented as the same variable.

90 = X + (X+2) + (X+4)

90 = 3X  + 6

84 = 3X

28 = X

So, the numbers are 28, 30 and 32

The linear scale factor of two shapes is 3:4. If the area of the smallest shape is 72^2 what is the area of the big shape?​
Lorico [155]

Answer:

\boxed{6912 units^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Hey there!</em>

Well using the given ratio,

3:4

And the area of the small shape we need to do,

72*72 = 5184

Now we can make the following fractions,

\frac{3}{4} = \frac{5184}{x}

Now we can solve,

3*x = 3x

4 * 5184 = 20736

3x = 20736

20736 / 3

x = 6912

So the area of the bigger shape is 6912 units^2

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>
