Answer:

(x-3) (x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

After determining that there was no GCF, I just used the trial an error method using the factors of 15. For small numbers like the one provided, it is pretty fast and effective.

aivan3 [116]

<u>ANSWER: </u>

The total cost of the skate board is $74.61.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $79.99. all merchandise is discounted by 12%. luis has to pay a state sales tax of 6.75%.

We need to find what is the total cost of the skateboard.

Final cost is nothing but original amount subtracted by discount and added with tax.

final cost = original cost – discount + sales tax

Original cost = $79.99

Discount = 12% of original cost

$\begin{array}{l}{=12 \% \times 79.99} \\\\ {=\frac{12}{100} \times 79.99} \\\\ {=\frac{959.88}{100}} \\\\ {=9.5988}\end{array}$

discount is $9.6 approximately

Sales tax = 6% of cost after discounting

$\begin{array}{l}{=6 \% \times \text { (original cost - discount) }} \\\\ {=\frac{6}{100} \times(79.99-9.6)} \\\\ {=\frac{6}{100} \times(70.39)} \\\\ {=\frac{422.34}{100}} \\\\ {=4.2234}\end{array}$

Sales tax is $4.22 approximately

Now, final cost = 79.99 – 9.6 + 4.22

= 84.21 - 9.6

= 74.61

Hence, the total cost of the skate board is $74.61

If H= 2f over m+1, solve the equation for f

Viefleur [7K]

H = 2f / (m+1)
[multiply by (m+1)]
h(m+1) = 2f
[divide by 2]
f = (h (m + 1)) / 2

3b / (b+2) = 12 / (b+2)
[multiply by (b+2)]
3b = 12
[divide by 3]
b = 4

3 / (6x + 1) / 2 = 8 / (x + 4) / 3
[multiply both denominators to mike one denominator]
3 / 8(6x+1) = 8 / 3(x+4)
[expand brackets]
3 / (48x + 8) = 8 / (3x + 12)
[multiply by (48x + 8)]
3 = 8(48x + 8) / (3x+12)
[multiply by (3x+12)]
3(3x +12) = 4(48x + 8)
[simplify]
9x + 36 = 192x + 32
173x = 4
x = 4 / 173
