Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming you are trying to find the value for a,

5a-2 = 23 (add 2 to both sides)

5a = 23 + 2

5a = 25 (divide both sides by 5)

a = 25/5

a = 5

Hope this helps

Answer:

a=5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable, a

5a-2=23

Add 2 to both sides

5a=25

Divide both sides by 5

a=5

In order to make back the money they spent ($1,137.50) plus $1500, they want to make $1137.5+1500=2637.5$ $2,637.50 total.

They want to make this amount by selling 350 agendas, so divide the amount they want to make by 350 to find the amount per book:
$2637.5/350=7.54$
I rounded the answer to the nearest hundredth because the hundredth is the smallest amount we have in USD (the penny.)
So they need to charge at least $7.54 to make back their money plus $1500.

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :)

Which statements are true about these lines? Select three options.

shepuryov [24]

RS is perpendicular to MN and PQ.

We can use the slopes of these lines to determine the answer.
Slope is given by the formula
m=.

Using the coordinates for M and N, we have:
m=.

Since PQ is parallel to MN, its slope will be as well, since parallel lines have the same slope.

Using the coordinates for points T and V in the slope formula, we have
m=.

This is not parallel to MN or PQ, since the slopes are not the same.
We can also say that it is not perpendicular to these lines; perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals (they are opposite signs and are flipped). This is not true of TV either.

Using the coordinates for R and S in the slope formula, we have
m=. Comparing this to the slope of RS, it is flipped and the sign is opposite; they are negative reciprocals, so they are perpendicular.
