X * 1.085 = 19.18
solve for x

Why is this how you figure it out? well... you have the price of the CD cover and the total is the price of the CD cover with tax. 

Price of the CD cover would be: x * 1 = price of cd cover
Put that tax on there: x * 1.085 = price of cd cover with tax

why .085? move that decimal over two places to the left from the 8.5%

Alika [10]
Mae walked 8 3/10 km on the last day.

If you add 4 2/5+5+7 3/10=16 7/10. Then you subtract 16 7/10 from the total, or 25 km and get 8 3/10 km. Hope this helped:)

Explain how to write the equation of a line if you know its y-intercept and the equation of a line to which it is parallel?
suter [353]
If you use the equation y = mx+b then you already know what the b term is because you have the y intercept. For the m (slope) you take the slope of the other line and use that because since there parallel they are going to run at the same angle (slope). Hope this helped. If you have any questions just ask.

Am I correct?? If not please correct me
pickupchik [31]
The answer would actually be A
F(x)=3x^2+4x
G(x)=2x^2-x+1
The two x^2 items are both positive and are added together to be 5x^2
The two x items would be added together to get 3x cause of the -x
Then +1 is just +1
Making the equation 5x^2+3x+1
If we were subtracting you would be absolutely correct, but since we are adding would go the opposite direction.
I hope this helps!
