Answer: £20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the old price = £x

Percent increase. = 10%

Increment. = 10% of £x

= 10x/100

Now new price = £22

To determine the old price we have

x + 10x/100. = 22

We now multiply everything by 100 to make it a linear expression

100x + 10x = 2200

110x = 2200, therefore

x. = 2200/110

= £20

Therefore, the price before the increase. = £20.

HELPPPPPPPPP i have the most trouble with math what’s the answer??

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Second Option

$\frac{5\sqrt{11} +5\sqrt{3}}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression you must multiply the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by the conjugate of the denominator.

If you have an expression of the form

$a -b$ then its conjugate will be $a + b.$

The result of that multiplication will be

$a ^ 2 -b ^ 2$

Therefore we have the expression

$\frac{5}{\sqrt{11} -\sqrt{3}}$

By multiplying by the conjugate of the denominator we have

$\frac{5}{\sqrt{11} -\sqrt{3}}*\frac{\sqrt{11} +\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{11} +\sqrt{3}}\\\\\\\frac{5(\sqrt{11} +\sqrt{3})}{(\sqrt{11})^2 -(\sqrt{3})^2}\\\\\\\frac{5\sqrt{11} +5\sqrt{3}}{11 -3}\\\\\\\frac{5\sqrt{11} +5\sqrt{3}}{8}$

The value of y varies directly with x. If x = 3, then y = 22. What is the value of x when y equals 105

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Varies directly uses the formula: y/x = k

22/3 = 7.33

105/x = 7.33

105/x (7.33/x) = 7.33(x/7.33)

105/7.33 = x

x = 14.32
