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

melomori [17]

Answer:

x = 42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said:

If two angles are not corresponding, then they make up 180°. They are more known as supplementary angles.

So the equation is:

a + b = 180°

Substitute

x + 8 + 3 x + 2 = 180°

x + 3x + 8 + 2 = 180°

4x + 10° = 180°

4x = 180° - 10°

4x = 170°

x = 170° ÷ 4

x = 42.5

All my points to whoever can solve this
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1/5 + 2/5 i sqrt(6) = .2 + .98i

1/5 - 2/5 i sqrt(6) = .2 - .98i

Step-by-step explanation:

5z^2−9z=−7z−5

We need to get all the terms on one side (set the right side equal to zero)

Add 7z to each side

5z^2−9z+7z=−7z+7z−5

5z^2−2z=−5

Add 5 to each side

5z^2−2z+5=−5 +5

5z^2−2z+5=0

This is in the form

az^2 +bz+c = 0 so we can use the quadratic formula

where a = 5   b = -2  and c = 5

-b± sqrt(b^2-4ac)

-------------------------

  2a

-(-2)± sqrt((-2)^2-4(5)5)

-------------------------

  2(5)

2± sqrt(4-100)

-------------------------

10


2± sqrt(-96)

-------------------------

10

2± sqrt(16)sqrt(-1) sqrt(6)

-------------------------

10

2± 4i sqrt(6)

-------------------------

10

1/5 ± 2/5 i sqrt(6)

Splitting the ±

1/5 + 2/5 i sqrt(6) = .2 + .98i

1/5 - 2/5 i sqrt(6) = .2 - .98i

The mean amount of sleep needed for adults is 503 minutes per night. If the standard deviation for adult sleepers is [s]. What i
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Z score associated with sleeping 503 minutes = 0 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values of sleep per night for adults:

Mean value X = 503

Standard deviation σ = s

FInd:

Z score associated with sleeping 503 minutes

Computation:

⇒ P[X = 503]

⇒ P[(x - X) / σ] = [503 - 503] / s

⇒ Z score value = [0] / s

⇒ Z score value = 0

Z score associated with sleeping 503 minutes = 0 minutes
