Answer:

I’m pretty sure the answer would be $100.80

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Take the $120 and multiply by 0.20, which will give you 24 (that’s 20% of 120)

2. Subtract $120-$24= $96

3. There is a 5% sales tax so take 96 and multiply by 0.05 and you get 4.8

3. Add $96+$4.80= $100.80

There might be a shorter way to calculate percentages and all but this is what works for me, I hope it helps!

Solve for c: a=7b+8c+9d-10
polet [3.4K]
<span>a=7b+8c+9d-10
a = 8c + 16d - 10
solve for c then
8c = a - 16d + 10
  c = (</span>a - 16d + 10) / 8
or
  c = a/8 - 2d + 5/4

Triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $B$. Legs $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{CB}$ are extended past point $B$ to points $D$ and
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Given :

ABC is a right triangle in which ∠ABC = 90°,

Also, Legs AB and CB are extended past point B to points D and E,

Such that,

\angle EAC = \angle ACD = 90^{\circ}

To prove :

EB\times BD=AB\times BC

Proof :

In triangles AEC and EBA,

∠EAC= ∠ABE ( right angles )

∠CEA = ∠AEB ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle AEC \sim \triangle EBA,

Similarly,

\triangle AEC \sim \triangle ABC

\implies\triangle EBA\sim \triangle ABC-----(1)

Now, In triangles ADC and CBD,

∠ACD = ∠CBD ( right angles )

∠ADC= ∠BDC ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle ADC \sim \triangle CBD,

Similarly,

\triangle ADC \sim \triangle ABC

\implies \triangle CBD\sim \triangle ABC-----(2)

From equations (1) and (2),

\triangle EBA\sim \triangle CBD

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are in same proportion,

\frac{EB}{BC}=\frac{AB}{BD}

\implies EB\times BD=AB\times BC

Hence, proved....

The solution to a system of equations is (6-3). Choose two equations that might make up the system. Y= -3x+6 Y=2x-9 y=-5x+27 y=2
MakcuM [25]

Answer:  C) y = -5x + 27     and       D) y = 2x - 15

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Substitute x = 6 and y = -3 into each of the given equations to see which result in a TRUE statement.

A) y = -3x + 6

  -3 = -3(6) + 6

  -3 = -18 + 6

  -3 = -12     FALSE

B) y = 2x - 9

  -3 = 2(6) - 9

   -3 = 12 - 9

   -3 = 3     FALSE

C) y = -5x + 27

  -3 = -5(6) + 27

  -3 = -30 + 27

  -3 = -3    TRUE!

D) y = 2x - 15

  -3 = 2(6) - 15

  -3 = 12 - 15

  -3 = -3    TRUE!

E) y = -4x + 27

  -3 = -4(6) + 27

  -3 = -24 + 27

  -3 = 3   FALSE
