Original price = x

The original price of a pair of shoes was discounted 20%.

20% = 20/100 = 0.2

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

x * 0.8

Now they sell for $54.

x * 0.8 = 54

Solve to find x.

54 / 0.8 = x

x = 67.5

Convert that to currency.

Answers and Step-by-step explanations:

9-18.

a) All the angles of a triangle add up to 180, by definition. So, we can write the expression: 30 + 115 + x = 180.

Then, we can just solve for x by subtracting 30 and 115 from both sides:

x = 180 - 115 - 30 = 35 degrees

b) Again all three angles should add up to 180, so:

x + x + x = 180 ⇒ 3x = 180 ⇒ x = 180/3 = 60 degrees

9-19.

a) These angles add up to 180:

2x + x + 30 = 180 ⇒ 3x + 30 = 180 ⇒ 3x = 150 ⇒ x = 50

2x = 50 * 2 = 100

The missing angles are 100 degrees and 50 degrees.

b) Again, these add up to 180:

x + 10 + x + 90 = 180 ⇒ 2x + 100 = 180 ⇒ 2x = 80 ⇒ x = 40

x + 10 = 40 + 10 = 50

The missing angles are 50 degrees and 40 degrees.

Hope this helps!

If Q is the midpoint of PR, and PQ = 2x + 3 and QR = 3x– 2, find x, PQ, QR, and PR.

leva [86]

Since they tell us that Q is the midpoint you now understand that the line is split evenly.
PQ=QR
2x+3=3x-2
2x+5=3x
x=5.

Which equation does the graph represent (see picture)

egoroff_w [7]

Y=Mx +b

B is 0 because that’s where the graph intercepts the y axis.

M is found by picking any two points and finding the rise and run because m is equal rise/run

Points of choice: (-2,4) and (2,-4)

=2−1/2−1 = -8/4

m is equal -2

Y= -2X

Look at the picture below to differentiate between positive and negative slopes.
