Answer:
x = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔARP ≈ ΔCRD
42/x = 57/(10+x)
cross-multiply:
42(10+x) = 57x
420 + 42x = 57x
420 = 15x
28 = x
If a toy that costs $2.99 is at a 30% discount then you first need to make 30% a decimal.
30% = .3
Now multiply $2.99 by .3 to find the discount which is .897
Since .897 has a thousandths place we need to round that which would make it 90 cents.
Now we know there is a 90 cent discount on a $2.99 toy.
take $2.99 - 90 cents = $2.09
The toy costs $2.09 after a 30% discount
-7 and 5
You can get this by factoring to the following
(x + 7)(x - 5)
Then set both equal to zero and solve individually.
Answer:
y = 15°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since ∠QOR and ∠UOT are vertical, they are congruent so ∠UOT = 5y. Since POS is a straight line (which has a measure of 180°) and ∠POS = ∠POU + ∠UOT + ∠TOS, we can write:
5y + 5y + 2y = 180
12y = 180
y = 15°
