The answer is $30.

We know discounted price of the shoes - $24.
We need to find out the original price of the shoes - x.

The discounted price is 80% of the original price (it is said that <span>shoes have been discounted 20%, so 100-20= 80%).

Let's set up a proportion. If $24 is 80%, how much is 100% (the original price):
$24 : 80% = x : 100 %

After crossing the products:
x = $24 * 100% / 80% = $30

Let's just check the result. After the discount of 20%, shoes will cost:
$30 - 20% = $30 - $30*(20/100) = $30 - $6 = $24.

</span><span>The original price of the shoes is $30.</span>

Consider the initial value problem y′′+36y=2cos(6t),y(0)=0,y′(0)=0. y″+36y=2cos⁡(6t),y(0)=0,y′(0)=0. Take the Laplace transform
Bingel [31]

Recall the Laplace transform of a second-order derivative,

L(y''(t)) = s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)

and the transform of cosine,

L(\cos(at))=\dfrac s{a^2+s^2}

Here, both y(0)=y'(0)=0, so taking the transform of both sides of

y''(t)+36y(t)=2\cos(6t)

gives

s^2Y(s)+36Y(s)=\dfrac{2s}{36+s^2}

\implies Y(s)=\dfrac{2s}{(s^2+36)^2}

In 10 years, a child’s age will be 6 years less than triple her current age. Find the child’s current age.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Her current age is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current age: x

"In 10 years, a child’s age will be 6 years less than triple her current age."

In 10 years: <u>x + 10</u>

6 years less than triple: <em>3x - 6</em>

<u>x + 10</u> = <em>3x - 6</em>

<em>solve.</em>

<em>16 = 2x</em>

<em>x = 8</em>
