Her equation doesn't fit the word problem! It says several 2 pounds books but she put it as if there was one. She should have wrote the equation like this:
3 + 2x = 20 (where x represents the unknown amount of boxes)
and than you can just solve for x to find how many books there are
3 + 2x = 20
2x = 20
x = 10
So there are 10 books!

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions :3

Drupady [299]
First we find out what percent the sale price is of the original price.

0.15 / 0.75 x 100 = 20%

Then we subtract this from 100% to get the discount:

100 - 20 = 80% discount

Find the value of x. Write your answer as a simplified radical if necessary.
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The right angle opposite is the hypotenuse

The 30° is the opposite

SohCahToa

Soh = Sin because you got Opposite and Hypotenuse (because you're trying to find the side, you'd do the opposite of dividing, which is times)

10×sin(30)=5
