-20 x
------ = ---------
-15 12

-15x = -240
x = -240/-15
x = 16

hope this helps :)

Students receive a 15% discount at the local movie theater. If a student pays the discounted price of $7.65, what is the origina

Over [174]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\$9.00}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = the original price of the ticket

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{ Price before discount - discount} & = & \text{sale price}\\p - 0.15p & = & 7.65\\0.85p & = & 7.65\\p & = & \dfrac{7.65 }{0.85}\\\\& = & \mathbf{9.00}\\\end{array}\\\text{The original price of the ticket was $\large \boxed{\mathbf{\$9.00}}$}$

Check:

$\begin{array}{rcl}9.00 - 0.15(9.00) & = & 7.65\\9.00 - 1.35 & = & 7.65\\7.65 & = & 7.65\\\end{array}$

OK.

What is the measure of angle J in the triangle below? A. 99 B. 42 C. 9 D. 48

Leya [2.2K]

For this use the law of sines:
$\sin( \alpha ) \div a = \sin( \beta ) \div b \\ \sin( \alpha ) \div 11 = \sin(103) \div 16$
$\frac{ \sin( \alpha ) }{11} = \frac{0.97}{16}$
cross-multiply:
16×sin (J) = 11×0.97
sin(J) = 10.72/16
sin(J) = 0.67
hit the "arcsin" button on your calculator:
${ \sin}^{ - 1} (0.67) = 42.06 = 42.1 \: deg$
therefore answer B. 42 is the correct answer!!

What is the area of the figure

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Area of the figure = 36 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the given composite figure = Area of the rectangle ABCE - Area of triangle CDE

Area of rectangle ABCE = Length × Width

= AB × AC

= 6 × 8

= 48 in²
