Our line equation is
where the slope m=1/2 and the y-intercept b is b=7.
Parallel lines has the same slope. Hence, their slope is always
in this case.
Answer:
Expression B: 0.8p
Expression D: p - 0.2p
Step-by-step explanation:
The regular price of an item at a store is p dollars. The item is on sale for 20% off the regular price. Some of the expressions shown below represent the sale price, in dollars, of the item.
Expression A: 0.2p
Expression B: 0.8p
Expression C:1 - 0.2p
Expression D: p - 0.2p
Expression E: p - 0.8p
Which two expressions each represent the sale price of the item?
Regular price of the item = $p
Sale price = 20% off regular price
Sale price = $p - 20% of p
= p - 20/100 * p
= p - 0.2 * p
= p - 0.2p
= p(1 - 0.2)
= p(0.8)
= 0.8p
The sale price is represented by the following expressions
Expression B: 0.8p
Expression D: p - 0.2p
Answer:
I will assume that the term "x+2/2" is meant to be "(x + 2)/2)." Otherwise the equation would read (x/3) = x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(x/3) = (x + 2)/2
x = 3*(x+2)/2 [Multiply both sides by 3]
x = (3x + 6)/2
x = (3/2)x + 6/2
x - (3/2)x = 3
-0.5x = 3
x = -6
====================
Check:
Does (x/3) = (x + 2)/2 for x = -6?
(-6/3) = (-6 + 2)/2
-2 = -4/2
-2 = -2 YES
You would multiply the growth rate (.009) by 2/3 to get the percent rate per year. Therefore, the answer is .006
