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.

Answer:

  • m∠ABC = 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • m∠ABC = x°
  • m∠BCD = 25°
  • m∠CDE = 55°
  • m∠DEF = 3x°

Add two more parallel lines passing through points C and D.

Consider alternate interior angles formed by the four parallel lines.

<u>The angles between the two middle lines are equal to:</u>

  • m∠BCD - m∠ABC  = m∠CDE - m∠DEF

<u>Substitute values and solve for x:</u>

  • 25 - x = 55 - 3x
  • 3x - x = 55 - 25
  • 2x = 30
  • x = 15

m∠ABC = 15°

Anyone have these or know them???
horsena [70]

The answer would be y = 6x.

The reason for this is that when we add a number in front of x, it makes it go up vertically by the factor of that number. So if we are to stretch the graph vertically, the only way we can do it is by making 6 the coefficient.
