Answer:

$243.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use algebra here.

Let x = the original price.

Then  1/3 x - 27 = 54

1/3x = 54 + 27 = 81

x = 81 /  1/3

x = 81 * 3

x = $243  (answer).

Answer:

$243

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the original price of the coat.  Then:

(1/3)p - $27 = $54.  Solve for p.  Start by adding $27 to both sides:

(1/3)p = 81.  Next, mult. both sides by 3, to eliminate the fraction 1/3:

p = $243

The original price of the coat was $243.

What is the root of this equation? <br>2x^2 - 4x + 9 = 0​
faust18 [17]

Answer:

x = 1 + i sqrt(7/2) or x = 1 - i sqrt(7/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 x^2 - 4 x + 9 = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

x^2 - 2 x + 9/2 = 0

Subtract 9/2 from both sides:

x^2 - 2 x = -9/2

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x + 1 = -7/2

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1)^2 = -7/2

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = i sqrt(7/2) or x - 1 = -i sqrt(7/2)

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 + i sqrt(7/2) or x - 1 = -i sqrt(7/2)

Add 1 to both sides:

Answer:  x = 1 + i sqrt(7/2) or x = 1 - i sqrt(7/2)

What does x and y equal if 3x-2 equal x-y equals 4
Alex17521 [72]
<h3>x is 2 and y is -2</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

3x-2 equal x-y equals 4

Which means,

3x - 2 = x - y = 4

Therefore,

x - y = 4

Also,

3x - 2 = 4

Simplify above expression

3x - 2 = 4

3x = 4 + 2

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in x - y = 4

2 - y = 4

y = 2 - 4

y = -2

Thus x is 2 and y is -2
