Set up two fractions:
8/x and 3/5
Set them equal to each other and cross multiply to get:
8*5 = 3x
40 = 3x
13.3 = x or 13 and 1/3 feet tall.

Answer:

  • y = -9/8x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope-intercept form is:</u>

  • y = mx + b

<u>Points given:</u>

  • (0, 7) and (8, -2)

<u>y-intercept is </u>

  • b = 7 as per the first point

<u>And the slope is:</u>

  • m = (-2 - 7)/(8 - 0) = -9/8

A dress listed from $119 is discounted 25%. What is the sale price of the dress including a 7 1/2 state sales tax?
Daniel [21]
If it is discounted 25%, then u r actually paying 75%

0.75(119) = 89.25 (without tax)

sales tax = 7 1/2% = 7.5% = 0.075
89.25(1.075) = $ 95.94 <===

Best answer or correct answer gets brainliest
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer: C. x = 6; m∠XOY = 18

Step-by-step:

We see that ZOW and WOX are supplementary, meaning the sum of their angles equal 180.

We also know that WOY is a right angle and equals 90.

Now we can solve

180-108 = 72

90 - 72 = 18

XOY = 18

Because 3x = 18, we know that x = 18 by dividing 18 by 3
