Robs lunch cost is unknown = x

and we know carla's cost 15  = 15

x + 15 = total lunch cost

now me know 20% is 6

so 20% of total lunch cost is 6

or

(x+15)(.02)  which is 20% of lunch and this is 6

or

(x+15)(.02) = 6  this is the equation to find x

this is the answer, but for kicks lets solve it to to find the cost

.2x + 3 = 6

     - 3    -3  

.2x  = 3

/.2     /.2

x = 15

Robs lunch cost $15 too

What is the solution to the compound inequality in interval notation?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the word "or", this is a disjunction, or a union of all the solutions to the inequality as they present on a number line.

For the first inequality:

4(x + 1) > -4 we distribute through the parenthesis to get

4x + 4 > -4 and subtract 4 from both sides to get

4x > -8 and then divide both sides by 4 to get

x > -2.  That will be graphed on a number line with an open hole over the -2 and the arrow will go to the right where the numbers are bigger than -2. This arrow continues into positive infinity.

For the other inequality:

2x - 4 ≤ -10 we add 4 to both sides to get

2x ≤ -6 and then divide by 2 to get

x ≤ -3. That is a closed hole over -3 and the arrow goes to negative infinity (to the left). Since one arrow goes off to the right forever, and the other arrow goes off to the left forever, and the arrows do not intersect at any point, the interval notation answer is

(-∞, -3] or (-2, ∞).  The parenthesis mean that the number following it is not included (you can't include infinity, either negative or positive, because it's not actually a number) and the brackets mean that the number following it IS included. The hole is closed over the -3 so -3 is included in the solution, where the hole over the -2 is open and is not included.

Find an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. -15, -6, 3, 12, ...
Mariulka [41]

Answer: t_{n}=-15+9(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given as:

t_{n}=a+(n-1)d

a = first term = -15

d = common difference = -6 - (-15) = 9

n = number of terms

substituting into the formula , we have :

t_{n} = -15+(n-1)9

t_{n}=-15+9(n-1)

Is 2cosx=cos2x ?<br>i have misinterrupted​
faltersainse [42]

no it isn't. 2cos(x) is 2 multiplied by cos(x), cos (2x) is cos(2 multiplied by x) meaning 2x is the angle you're taking the cosine of. if you want to know what cos(2x) look up the double angle rule.
