Answer:

The answer to your question is Yes, he can buy it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Money saved = $35

Original Price = $42

Discount = 30%

Tax = 5 %

Process

1.- Calculate the price of the Video game with the discount

$42 --------------------- 100%

x --------------------- 30%

x = (30 x 42) / 100

x = $ 12.6

Price with discount = 42 - 12.6

= $ 29.4

2.- Calculate the price of the Video game plus taxes

$29.4 ------------------- 100%

x ------------------- 5%

x = (5 x 29.4) / 100

x = 147 / 100

x = 1.47

Price plus taxes = 29.4 + 1.47

= $ 30.87

3.- Conclusion

Bruce can buy the Video game because he saved $35 and the video game plus taxes cost $30.87.

Pls right answer do not guess this is a final pls dont guess -5x - 6 > 14

zzz [600]

Answer:

x < −4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 6 to both sides.

-5x> 14 + 6

Simplify 14+6 to 20.

-5x>20

Divide both sides by -5.

x<-20/5

Simplify

x<−4

Describe in your own words a perfect square. of the numbers 25 and 50, identify which is a perfect square and explain why

Anna35 [415]

A perfect square is a number which contains a a factor that involves a number multiplied by itself. You could also say a perfect square, when taken the square root of such a number, involves a whole number answer. Either explanation would work, and there are surely mainly more haha. 25 is the perfect square because 5×5 is a factor of 25, while 50 doesn't have a factor of the same numbers.

Which equations represent the asymptotes of the hyperbola (x-1)^2/36-(y-2)^2/64=1 ?

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

$4x+3y=10$ and $4x-3y=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The asymptote equation of a translate hyperbola with equation $\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}=1$ is $y=\pm\frac{b}{a}(x-h)+k$

The given hyperbola has equation: $\frac{(x-1)^2}{36}-\frac{(y-2)^2}{64}=1$

Or $\frac{(x-1)^2}{6^2}-\frac{(y-2)^2}{8^2}=1$

Comparing to $\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$

We have a=6 and b=8, h=1 and k=2.

We substitute this values to get:

$y=\pm\frac{6}{8}(x-1)+2$

$y=\pm\frac{4}{3}(x-1)+2$

$3y=\pm4(x-1)+6$

We split the plus or minus sign to get:

$3y=4x-4+6$

$3y=4x+2$

$3y-4x=2$

Or

$3y=-4(x-1)+6$

$3y=-4x+4+6$

$3y+4x=10$

18........................

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the radical property $\sqrt{a*b} =\sqrt{a} \sqrt{b}$ to simplify this.

The problem is $\sqrt{169*x^5}$

We can simplify this as:

$\sqrt{169*x^5} \\=\sqrt{169} \sqrt{x^5}$

Now we can use the property of radicals, $\sqrt[n]{x^a} =x^{\frac{a}{n}}$ , to write as:

$\sqrt{169} \sqrt{x^5} \\13*x^{\frac{5}{2}}$

D is right answer.
