This question requires you to know the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 5, 4 and 2. there are a few ways to do that. in this case the LCM would be 20. this means that in 20 year the science department would buy all 3 equipment at the same time

What's the answer for 3/4 (x+3)=9
Vitek1552 [10]
We want to solve the equation :

\displaystyle{  \frac{3}{4}(x+3)=9


first, multiply both sides by 4:

\displaystyle{ \cancel{4} \cdot \frac{3}{ \cancel 4 }(x+3)=4\cdot 9

\displaystyle{ 3(x+3)=36


divide both sides by 3:

x+3=12


add -3 to both sides:

x=9



Answer: x=9

The selling price of a​ refrigerator, is ​$ 796.40 . If the markup is 10 % of the​ dealer's cost, what is the​ dealer's cost of
8_murik_8 [283]

The final price (what it is selling for) is $796.40

The markup is 10% of the original price (the dealer's cost) , meaning that it is 10% more.

We need to find the original price.

We write this as an equation

The original price *110% = final price

This is because the original price is itself (100%) added with 10%

Plug in the known final price

Original Price * 110% = 796.40

Convert 110% to a decimal because the other numbers- such as the final price are also decimal numbers.

Convert 110% to a decimal by moving the decimal point up 2 spaces ( basically dividing it by 100)

110% = 1.1

So it is now

Original price *1.1 = 796.40

Divide both sides by 1.1 to isolate our unknown, the original price

Original price = $724

Graph the solution set
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Graph by first drawing a horizontal line at 3 on the y axis. Anything below this line falls into the y is less than or equal to 3 range. Draw a vertical line at negative 2 on the x axis. This represents x > -2. The next one is a slanted line, so it'll be trickier to graph. If using a graph of 10 - 10, graph from (-8, -10) to (10, 8). If using a graph of 20 - 20, graph from (-18, -20) to (20, 18). As seen in the graph, anything to the upper left of this line is included.

The true inclusion is where all the ranges intersect. Be sure to color this the darkest or with a special pattern.

Give the equation of the line through the point ( – 15, - 1) with a slope of -3/5 in slope -intercept form
shutvik [7]

Answer:

-1 = (-3/5)-15 + b

(I don't know the y-intercept bc I don't have a graphing calc but to find it out you just graph it and then see where the line passes thru the y axis)
