---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Price
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$129.50

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discount
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
40% of $129.50
= 0.4 x 129.50
$51.80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Price after discount
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$129.50 - $51.80 = $77.70

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further discount of 60%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
60% of $77.70
=  0.6 x 77.7
= $46.62

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Price after discount
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$77.70 - $46.62 = $31.08

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: It is not free. It still cost $31.08.

1. Using the exponent rule (a^b)·(a^c) = a^(b+c) ...

\left(-2x^3y^4\right)\left(5x^9y^{-2}\right)=(-2)(5)\left(x^{(3+9)}y^{(4-2)}\right)\\\\=-10x^{12}y^{2}

Simplify. Write in Scientific Notation

2. You know that 256 = 2.56·100 = 2.56·10². After that, we use the same rule for exponents as above.

8 \left(32\times 10^{11}\right)=(8)(32)\times 10^{11}=256\times 10^{11}=2.56\times 10^{13}

3. The distributive property is useful for this.

(3x – 1)(5x + 4) = (3x)(5x + 4) – 1(5x + 4)

... = 15x² +12x – 5x –4

... = 15x² +7x -4

4. Look for factors of 8·(-3) = -24 that add to give 2, the x-coefficient.

-24 = -1×24 = -2×12 = -3×8 = -4×6

The last pair of factors adds to give 2. Now we can write

... (8x -4)(8x +6)/8 . . . . . where each of the instances of 8 is an instance of the coefficient of x² in the original expression. Factoring 4 from the first factor and 2 from the second factor gives

... (2x -1)(4x +3) . . . . . the factorization you require

One cell phone plan charges $20 per month plus $.15 per minute used. A second cell phone plan charges $35 per month plus $.10 pe
SOVA2 [1]

20+0.15x = 35+0.10x

0.15x=15+0.10x

0.05x=15

x= 15/0.05

x= 300minutes


check:

300*.015 = 45+20=65

300*0.10 = 30 + 35 = 65

they equal

 so number of minutes would be 300

andrezito [222]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

I  think below is your full question:

<em>Erin and Dan went shopping at their local store. Erin bought shirts that cost $12 each and spent $18 on accessories. Dan bought the same number of shirts as Erin for $16 each and spent $10 on accessories. </em>

<em>If Erin and Dan were billed the same amount by the store, how many shirts did each of them buy?</em>

Here is my answer

Let  x is number of shirts

Person             COST              

ERIN                12x+18

DAN                 16x+10

Equally Billed    12x+18=16x+10 <=> x = 2

so each of them buy 2 shirts

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Michael is 38 and Sara is 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it says the sum of their age is 47 you do 47-9=38 so that would be Michael's age and than because Sara is 9 years younger than him and then you would do 38-9=29
