Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say we start from the beginning with $40. If the pants are discounted but we don't know the percent discount, then we need a variable, x:

40 - x% * 40 = 30

The total is 40. When we take a discount off of 40, we are taking a percent of 40 and subtracting that from 40. From the problem, this should be 30. Thus, the equation above.

Add x%*40 to both sides and subtract 30 from both sides:

x%*40 = 10

Divide by 40:

x% = 1/4 = 0.25

Multiply each side by 100:

x = 25

The answer is 25%.

3√24= 3√2^2*6 = 3*2√6 = 6√6

2√384= 2√8^2*6 = 2*8√6 = 16√6

√96= √4^2*6 = 4√6

6√6 -16√6- 4√6 = -14√6

Final answer: -14√6

Given the graphs of f(x) = -x + 2 and g(x) = 5x – 4, what is the solution to the equation f(x) = g(x)?
Stels [109]

Answer:

c) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = g(x)

-x+2 = 5x-4

+x       +x

2 = 6x -4

+4      +4

6 = 6x

(divide both sides by 6)

1 = x

Sanji paid 25 for two scarves which were different prices when she got home she could not find the receipt she remember that one
laila [671]
Answer:

The answer is x = 14 the more expensive scarf

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 25

3 + y + y = 25 (x = 3 + y)

3 + 2y = 25

2y = 25 - 3

2y = 22

y = 22/2

y = 11

x = 3 + y

x = 3 + 11

x = 14 (the more expensive scarf)

(x,y) ; (14,11)
