Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 7/8

Discussion:

3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24 =>

3x + (3*3)(4x-5) = 15x - 24  =>

3x + 9*(4x) - (3*3)*5 = 15x - 24 =>

3x + 36x  - 45 = 15x - 24  =>   (add 24 to each side)

3x + 36x - 45 + 45 = 15x - 24 + 45 =>

39x = 15x + 21  =>                    (as 45-24 = 21)

39x-15x = 21 =>                        (subtract 15x from both sides)

24x = 21 =>

x = 21/24 = -7/8

A store prices tapes by raising the wholesale price 50% and adding 25 cents .What must a tape's wholesale price be if the tape s
Andre45 [30]

Let's call the store value as s and the wholesale price as w. A store prices tapes by raising the wholesale price 50%(0.5 in decimals) and adding 25 cents, writing this as an equation, we have

s(w)=w+0.5w+0.25

If we invert the equation we're going to find the the wholesale price as a function of the store price.

\begin{gathered} s=w+0.5w+0.25 \\ s=1.5w+0.25 \\ s-0.25=1.5w \\ w(s)=\frac{s-0.25}{1.5} \end{gathered}

Now, to find the wholesale price if the sales price is $1.99, we just need to evaluate s = 1.99 on the function we created.

w(1.99)=\frac{1.99-0.25}{1.5}=1.16

The wholesale price is $1.16.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the the area of a triangle can be represented as \frac{bh}{2}.

Since the height is twice the base, we can substitute the value 2b in as h in the expression, making it \frac{b\cdot2b}{2}. If the area is 16, we can make the equation

\frac{b\cdot2b}{2} = 16

Now to solve for b.

\frac{2b^2}{2} = 16\\\frac{2b^2}{2}\cdot2 = 16\cdot2\\\\2b^2 = 32\\\\2b^2\div2 = 32\div2\\\\b^2 = 16\\\\b=4

Hope this helped!
