Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number = x

x+\frac{8.2}{100}*x=106\\\\x+0.082x=106\\\\1.082x=106\\\\x=\frac{106}{1.082}\\\\x=\frac{106*1000}{1.082*1000}\\\\x=\frac{106000}{1082}\\\\x=97.96\\\\

x=98.0

x=98

Given that the value of b can never be equal to -1, determine if the equations are intersecting, parallel, or coincident.
eimsori [14]
<h3>Answer: A) intersecting</h3>

-----------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

Solve the first equation for y

x+y = ab

y = -x+ab

y = -1x + ab

slope = -1, y intercept = ab

-----------

Solve for y in the second equation

bx - y = a

bx - y - a = 0

bx-a = y

y = bx - a

Slope = b, y intercept = -a

-----------

The first equation has a slope of -1. The second equation has a slope of b.

Since b cannot equal -1, this means the two equations have different slopes. It is impossible for these two lines to be parallel, because parallel lines have equal slopes. The different slope values tell us the lines cross at exactly one point.

A rectangular box with an open top has a length of x feet, a width of y feet, and a height of z feet. It costs $4.30 per square
almond37 [142]

Answer:

C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of a Cuboid=2(LW+LH+HW)

Since the top is open

Surface Area = LW+2(LH+HW)

If Length = x feet,

Width =y feet

Height = z feet

Surface Area = xy+2(xz+yz)

Area of the base=xy

If it costs $4.30 per square foot to build the base

Cost of the base=Cost Per Square Foot X Area = $4.30xy

Area of the sides =2(xz+yz)

If it costs $2.70 per square foot to build the sides

Cost of the sides=Cost Per Square Foot X Area of the sides

= 2.70 X 2(xz+yz)

=5.40(xz+yz)

Cost of Constructing the Box = Cost of Constructing the Base + Cost of Constructing the Sides.

Therefore,

C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))
