<span>60 x 8% = 4.8 4.8 discount
 60 - 4.8 = $55.2 pricewith discount
  55.2 x 7% = 3.86 tax
 55.2 + 3.86 = $59.06 so it would be less than $60.00.</span>

60*0.08   Multiply the price of the sweater by 0.08, or 8%
4.8         solution
60-4.8   Subtract discount from original price
55.2       solution
7/100=a/55.2  construct formula to find sales tax
a=3.864  solution
55.2+3.864  add solution to discounted price
59.064   solution
$59.06   round down to 59.06


It will be less than 60 dollars because, according to the work shown, 59.06<60.

What are the solutions of the quadratic equation? 2 x^2 – 16 x + 32 = 0
White raven [17]

Answer:

X=4,4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x^2 – 16 x + 32 = 0

2(x^2-8x+16)=0

X^2-(4+4)X+16=0

x^2-4x-4x+16=0

x(x-4)-4(x-4)=0

(x-4)(x-4)=0

X=4,4

So the solution is X=4,4

Mitch lives on the 20th floor of an apartment building. Every time he leaves, he rides a self-service elevator from the 20th flo
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

He does that because he is short and his hand can't reach the 20th floor button

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitch does that simply because he is short.

When he is leaving, he doesn't need to reach the 20th floor button because the button is way taller than the reach of his hands whereas when he is returning he has to reach the 20th floor button but his hand can only reach the 15th floor button. Thus, he gets to the 15th floor and walks up the remaining 5 flights.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

it's the first choice: 2x^3 +  5x^2 - x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

(f•g)(x)

= f(x) * g(x)

= (x + 2)(2x^2 + x - 3)

= 2x^3  + x^2 - 3x + 4x^2 + 2x - 6

= 2x^3 +  5x^2 - x - 6.
