Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

Let the original price = x

To begin with, we will convert the word problem into an equation as displayed below:

( x / 2 ) - 8 = 18

Now, to find the original price we will simply make ( x ) the subject and solve accordingly as displayed below:

( x / 2 ) - 8 = 18
( x / 2 ) = 18 + 8
( x / 2 ) = 24
x = 24 × 2
x = $48

CHECKING THE ANSWER:

In order to check if the answer is correct, simply substitute the value of x into the original equation and solve. If the left-hand and right-hand side are equivalent, then the answer is correct as displayed below:

( x / 2 ) - 8 = 18
( 48 / 2 ) - 8 = 18
24 - 8 = 18
18 = 18

Therefore, the answer is:

x = $48

Can someone please help me
Aneli [31]

Answer:

r = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for r, plug in the change in x values and change in y values, since the hypotenuse is simply the diagonal of both the y-coordinate and x-coordinates shown via drawing legs on the vertical and horizontal axis. So, since (0,0) is the initial point, r = sqr[(-4-0)^2 + (-3-0)^2 = sqr(16 + 9) = 5.

Now, the angle theta is the angle in which the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios are found. Simply use opposite over hypotenuse for sine, adjacent over hypotenuse for cosine, and opposite over adjacent for tangent using theta as the angle in which these values are obtained.
