Answer:

The original price was 780.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the computer

The sales tax is x* .08

The total price is x + .08x = 1.08x

This is equal to 842.50

1.08x = 842.50

Divide each side by 1.08

1.08x/1.08=842.50/1.08

x =780.09

The original price was 780.09

CAN SOMEONE PLS HELP MEEEEEEE

Answer:

  1. 6x +y = -6
  2. 6x -y = 8
  3. 5x +y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To rewrite these equations from point-slope form to standard form, you can do the following:

  • eliminate parentheses
  • subtract the x-term
  • subtract the constant on the left
  • if the coefficient of x is negative, multiply by -1

Of course, any operation you do must be done <em>to both sides of the equation</em>.

__

1. y -6 = -6(x +2)

  y -6 = -6x -12 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  6x +y -6 = -12 . . . . . add 6x

  6x +y = -6 . . . . . . . . add 6

__

2. y +2 = 6(x -1)

  y +2 = 6x -6

  -6x +y +2 = -6

  -6x +y = -8

  6x -y = 8 . . . . . . . . multiply by -1

__

3. y -3 = -5(x -2)

  y -3 = -5x +10

  5x +y -3 = 10

  5x +y = 13

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The "standard form" of a linear equation is ax+by=c for integers a, b, c. The leading coefficient (generally, 'a') should be positive, and all coefficients should be mutually prime (have no common factors). That is why we multiply by -1 in problem 2.

A town in east Texas recieved 10 inches of rain in two weeks. If it kept raining at this rate for a 31-day month, how much rain
Gelneren [198K]
The best way to approach this problem is to find out how much fell in week. As you know what two weeks is, you simply have to halve this, giving you that one week is 5 inches of rain. One you have this, you can multiply this by 4 (as this will give you 4 weeks, or 28 days), and this gives you 20 inches in 28 days. You should then find the odd three days. If you divide 5 by 7, this will give you the rain fall in one day. 5/7= 0.8 inches per day. You then have top multiply this by 3 (as you've got three odd days), and this gives you 2.4. You then have to add together 2.4 and 20, giving you 22.4
Therefore, if the rain continued to fall at the same rate for 31 days, it would receive 22.4 inches of rain.
Hope this helps :)
