Solve for x x-xy=z Hint: reverse distribution to get x alone

Mathematics
1 answer:
dimulka [17.4K]3 years ago

<h3>Answer:  x = z/(1-y)</h3>

Work Shown:

x - xy = z

x*1 - x*y = z

x*(1 - y) = z .... distributive rule in reverse

x = z/(1-y) ..... divide both sides by (1-y)

The distributive rule is a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c. You can also say a*(b-c) = a*b-a*c. In this case, we factored out the common factor x.

Mel's Furniture received an invoice dated September 27 for 5 bedroom sets at $3,000 each. The invoice indicated a chain discount
LenKa [72]

Answer: $12,916.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Invoice received :

Bedroom set = 5

Cost per set = $3,000

Chain discount = 5/8/3

Freight cost = $200

If Mel pays within the discount period:

Chain discount given = 5/8/3

Therefore, net equivalent price rate equals:

(1 - 0.05) × (1 - 0.08) × (1 - 0.03) =

0.95 × 0.92 × 0.97 = 0.84778

Net price = total cost × 0.84778

($3000 × 5) × 0.84778

$15000 × 0.84778 = $12,716.7

Net equivalent price + FOB Shipping

$12,716.7 + $200 = $12,916.70

752 calories * 4 = 3008 calories in 2 pounds of ice cream.

A block of wood 3.0 cm on each side and has a mass of 27 g. What is the density of this block.
Sidana [21]
The density is 1g/cm³. To calculate density, the equation density=mass/volume is used. You already know the mass, 27g, but you need the volume. The equation for volume is length x width x height. Plug in your side measure 3, to get 3 x 3 x 3, which is 27cm³. Now, just divide the mass by the volume. 27g/27cm³= 1g/cm³
