There is a really easy way to do this problem and that is to use a graphing website
after punching in the functions:
A. depending of whether it is -5/(2x) or (-5/2)x: intersecting but not perpendicular or parallel
B. These two lines are perpendicular
C. Parallel lines
D. intersecting but not perpendicular
Answer:
w=9x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
2(3x-3+w)=12x+2
6x-6+2w=12x+2
subtract 6x for both sides
-6+2w=18x+2
add 6 for both sides
2w=18x+8
Divide by 2 to find w
w=9x+4
39.66 is the answer to the problem
You can just subtract 6% from 30% to get the correct percentage decrease because a sales tax is added to the price.
30%-6%= 24%
Convert that to a decimal.
24%= .24
50*.24= 12
50-12= 38
