Lets say the initial cost is 100 dollars. The agent would buy it for 70 dollars. If he sold it for 10% more than what he bought it for, he would be selling it for 77 dollars, making a total profit of 37 dollars. This would mean that he made a 48% profit.

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are congruent

<I = <P

3x+4 = 72-x

Add x to each side

3x+4+x = 72-x+x

4x+4 = 72

Subtract 4 from each side

4x+4-4 = 72-4

4x = 68

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 68/4

x = 17

A bag contains blue marbles and red marbles, 58 in total. The number of blue marbles is 4 more than 5 times the number of red ma
tatiyna

Answer:

49 blue marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given;

  • Total number of marbles = 58
  • Blue marbles are 4 more than 5 times the red marbles

We need to determine the number of blue marbles;

Assuming the number of red marbles is x

Then, blue marbles will be 5x + 4

Therefore;

x + 5x + 4 = 58

6x + 4 = 58

6x = 54

  x = 9

5x + 4 = 5(9) + 4 = 49

Therefore, the red marbles are 9 while the blue marbles are 49

Hence there are 49 blue marbles

Which of the lines graphed in the diagram represents the equation 6x + 4y = 8
Blizzard [7]
In order to easily discern which graph is a proper representation of 6x + 4y = 8, you first need to convert the equation to y = mx+ b, also known as slope-intercept form. Here's how you can do this:
6x + 4y = 8
4y = -6x + 8
y = -1.5x + 2
The +2 tells you that your line will intercept the vertical y-axis at (0, 2). This narrows it down to graphs a and d. Then, because you have a NEGATIVE number in front of your x (it's -1.5), you can tell that your graph will be going down as it moves from left to right. This leaves you with graph d as your answer!

2) Which of the following represents an equation of a line parallel to one whose equation is 2y + 8x = 18?
Reika [66]
Parallel has the same slope
2y + 8x = 18
Make it slope in form: y = mx + b
Divide the equation by 2
y + 4x = 9
Now subtract 4x
Y = -4x + 9
The slope is -4
Which equation also has same slope?

Solution: A
