A department store is having a sale in which every item is 38% off its original price. The regular price of a suit is $112. How

lara [203]

Answer: $42.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent discount in department store = 38%

The regular price of suit = $112.

Price taken off the regular price of the suit =

38% of $112

So, 38% of $112

= (38/100) x $112

= 0.38 x $112

= $42.56

(i.e the customer will pay $112 - $42.56 = $69.44 only for the suit)

Thus, the price taken off the regular price of the suit is $42.56

On a coordinate plane the coordianits of vertices the and t for a polygon are r(-7,3) and r (3,3) what is the length of side rt

NemiM [27]

The length is 10.

Since the two points share the same y-coordinate, the segment rt is horizontal.

This means that the length of the side is simply the difference (in absolute value) between the x coordinates of the two points.

So, we have

$\overline{RT} = |-7-3| = |-10| = 10$

Solving a Two-Step Matrix Equation<br> Solve the equation:

Cloud [144]

Answer:

$\boxed {x_{1} = 3}$

$\boxed {x_{2} = -4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following equation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2\\5&5\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1}\\x_{2}\\\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\2\\\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\-3\\\end{array}\right]$

-In order to solve a pair of equations by using substitution, you first need to solve one of the equations for one of variables and then you would substitute the result for that variable in the other equation:

-First equation:

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 = 2$

-Second equation:

$5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

-Choose one of the two following equations, which I choose the first one, then you solve for $x_{1}$ by isolating

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 = 2$

-Subtract $1$ to both sides:

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1$

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} = 1$

-Subtract $2x_{2}$ to both sides:

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} - 2x_{2} = -2x_{2} + 1$

$3x_{1} = -2x_{2} + 1$

-Divide both sides by $3$ :

$3x_{1} = -2x_{2} + 1$

$x_{1} = \frac{1}{3} (-2x_{2} + 1)$

-Multiply $-2x_{2} + 1$ by $\frac{1}{3}$ :

$x_{1} = \frac{1}{3} (-2x_{2} + 1)$

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}$

-Substitute $-\frac{2x_{2} + 1}{3}$ for $x_{1}$ in the second equation, which is $5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$ :

$5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

$5(-\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}) + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

Multiply $-\frac{2x_{2} + 1}{3}$ by $5$ :

$5(-\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}) + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

$-\frac{10}{3}x_{2} + \frac{5}{3} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

-Combine like terms:

$-\frac{10}{3}x_{2} + \frac{5}{3} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

$\frac{5}{3}x_{2} + \frac{11}{3} = -3$

-Subtract $\frac{11}{3}$ to both sides:

$\frac{5}{3}x_{2} + \frac{11}{3} - \frac{11}{3} = -3 - \frac{11}{3}$

$\frac{5}{3}x_{2} = -\frac{20}{3}$

-Multiply both sides by $\frac{5}{3}$ :

$\frac{\frac{5}{3}x_{2}}{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{-\frac{20}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}$

$\boxed {x_{2} = -4}$

-After you have the value of $x_2$ , substitute for $x_{2}$ onto this equation, which is $x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}$ :

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}$

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}(-4) + \frac{1}{3}$

-Multiply $-\frac{2}{3}$ and $-4$ :

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}(-4) + \frac{1}{3}$

$x_{1} = \frac{8 + 1}{3}$

-Since both $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{8}{3}$ have the same denominator, then add the numerators together. Also, after you have added both numerators together, reduce the fraction to the lowest term:

$x_{1} = \frac{8 + 1}{3}$

$x_{1} = \frac{9}{3}$

$\boxed {x_{1} = 3}$
