45+1.99x=68.88
Subtract 45 from both sides
1.99x = 23.88
Divide both sides by 1.99
X=12

Amount owed for movies =total amount owed - amounts charged by cable company
Amount owed for movies =68.88-45=23.88

Number of movies rented=amount owed for movies divided by amount per movie
Number of movies rented =28.88 divided by 1.99=12
Therefore you rented 12 movies

Give an example of a point that is the same distance from (3, 0) as it is from (7, 0). Find lots of examples. Describe the confi

Artist 52 [7]

Supposse that the distance from the point $(x,y)$ to the point $(3,0)$ is equal to the distance from $(x,y)$ to the point $(7,0)$ . Then, by the formula of the distnace we must have

$\sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (y-0)^2}=\sqrt{(x-7)^2 + (y-0)^2}$

cancel the square root and the $(y-0)^2$ 's, and then expand the parenthesis to obtain

$x^2 - 6x + 9 = x^2 - 14x + 49$

then, simplifying we obtain

$8x = 40$

therfore we must have

$x=5$

this means that the points satisfying the propertie must have first component equal to 5. So we can give a lot of examples of such points: $(5,0), (5,7),(5,1/2), (5,-10),...$ . The set of this points give us a straight line and the points (3,0) and (7,0) are symmetric with respect to this line.

Isabella has a board that is 5.24 feet long and 1.34 feet wide.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Length of 1 piece= Length of total divided by 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of total= 5.24 feet long

Width of total= 1.34 feet wide

Width is divided by 1 line so, there are 2 parts.

Width= 1.34 divided by 2

Width= 0.67 feet wide

Length is divided by 7 lines, so there are 8 parts.

Length= 5.24 divided by 8

Length=0.655 feet long

They are asking for formula to find the length of each piece

Length of 1 piece= Length of total divided by 8

Hope that helps!

A store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item. If a pair of jeans has a sales price of $52.50, what cost doe

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The cost store owner pay for the pair of jeans is $42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item.

If a pair of jeans has a sales price of $52.50.

Now, to find the cost price of the store owner pay for the pair of jeans.

Let the cost price of jeans be $x.$

Sell price of jeans = $\$52.50.$

Now, to get the cost price of store owner pay for the pair of jeans:

As given the store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item.

According to question:

$125\%\ of\ x=52.50$

$\frac{125}{100} \times x=52.50$

$1.25x=52.50$

Dividing both sides by 1.25 we get:

$x=42.$

The cost price of jeans = $42.

Therefore, the cost store owner pay for the pair of jeans is $42.

People in here again and again. I think this is the last question

Lilit [14]

Answer:

2.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the length of segment AB and the length of segment BC. To find their midpoints, we can divide their length by 2.

Let's find the midpoint of AB.

Segment AB: 10 cm
Midpoint of AB: 10/2 = 5 cm

Next let's find the midpoint of BC.

Segment BC: 5.2 cm
Midpoint of BC: 5.2/2 = 2.6 cm

In order to find the difference between these midpoints, we can subtract the midpoint of AB by the midpoint of BC.

5 cm - 2.6 cm = 2.4 cm

Therefore, the difference between the midpoints of AB and BC is 2.4 cm.
