28.80 + .20X = X

.20X = X - 28.80

1/5 = .20

X/5 = X -28.80

X = 5X - 144

Set the new X equal to the original X

28.80 + .20X = 5X - 144

172.8 + .20X = 5X

172.8 = 4.8X

36 = X

36$ is the original price

To check,

28.80 + (.20 x 36) = 36

28.80 + 7.2 = 36

36 = 36

(3a) You spend $72 on tapes and CDs. Each tape costs $8 and each CD costs $12.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

3a. 8t + 12c = 72

3b. t + c = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

number of tapes is t

number of Cds is c

so 8t + 12c = 72

and t + c = 7

so t = 7 - c

replace t = 7 - c in to the first equation

8(7 - c) + 12c = 72

56 - 8c + 12c = 72

4c = 72 - 56 = 16

c = 4

if c = 4, then t = 7 - c = 7 - 4 = 3

Applying the Procedure
Verizon [17]

Answer:

15 Square Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cone=40 cubic inches

Height of the cone=8 Inches

<u>Step 1:</u> Applying the formula for the volume of a cone

Volume of a Cone=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h=\frac{1}{3} X $Base Area X Height

<u>Step 2:</u> Substituting values for the variables

40=\frac{1}{3} X $Base Area X 8

<u>Step 3:</u> Simplifying the right side

40=\frac{8}{3} X $Base Area

<u>Step 4:</u> Multiplying by the reciprocal

40X\frac{3}{8}=\frac{8}{3} X\frac{3}{8} X $Base Area\\

<u>Therefore, Base Area of the Cone=15 Square Inches</u>
