A wallet is originally $11.00. With a 40% discount, what is the sales price? Show your work.

NeX [460]

Answer:

$6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to find out what 40% of the original price is ($11)

100% = 11

10%= 1.1

to get 40% you times it by 4

40%= 4.4

you then have to take away the sale reduction from the original

11- 4.4 =$6.6

The equation x^3+x^2+ax-4=0 has one root equal to -2. Find the value of a.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

a = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x = - 2 is a root then f(- 2) = 0

f(x) = x³ + x² + ax - 4, thus

f(- 2) = (- 2)³ + (- 2)² - 2a - 4 = 0, that is

f(- 2) = - 8 + 4 - 2a - 4 = 0, thus

- 8 - 2a = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

- 2a = 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

a = - 4

The figures in the picture are similar to each other find the value of x

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar figures have sides that are proportional. Setting up a proportion for the sides of the figures will help solve for 'x':

$\frac{small}{large}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{(x-3)}{(x+1)}$

Cross-multiply: 3(x + 1) = 6(x - 3)

Distribute: 3x + 3 = 6x - 18

Combine like terms: 21 = 3x

Solve for 'x': x = 7
