The sales tax = $48.50
Let x be the sales tax rate expressed as a percent.
So x% * 776 = 48.50
x/100 * 776 = 48.50
x * 776 = 4850 (multiply both sides by 100)
x = 4850/776
x= 6.25%
So the sales tax rate expressed as a percent is 6.25%.

How many solutions does the system have? 3x−5y=15 6x−10y=30 ​
34kurt

Answer:

infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

3x−5y=15

6x−10y=30 ​

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(3x-5y) = 2*15

6x -10y =30

The two equations are identical, which means they are the same line

That means they have infinite solutions

Hello!!

We know y = 7 + x. Substitute this into our other equation,

2x = (x + 7) - 10
2x = x - 3
x = -3

Now, we know that x = -3 so, we can conclude that the answer is choice B.

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have ANY questions.

The drawing below represents a 22-foot ladder with its base placed 10 feet from the bottom of a vertical wall.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

63°

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the value of x we will use the Pythagoras theorem

hyp² = opp²+adj²

Given

hyp is the length of the ladder = 22ft

Adjacent is the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall = 10ft

Angle of elevation = x

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos x = 10/22

Cos x = 5/11

x = arccos(5/11)

x = arccos(0.4545)

x = 62.96°

Hence the best estimate of x is 63°
