So the answer would be A. I had a bit of trouble figuring this out, but then I went to Order of Operations and found it out.
So you fill in n, and I just used 9 since it's in the question. So then, subtract 1 from 9, giving you 8. Then you multiply 0.35 by 8, giving you 2.8. Now lastly, add 7.51, and you get 10.31
I hope this helps you! If it does, please rate as Brainliest :D
Answer:
x = 200/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply Thales theorem, we have:
80/(2x) = 60/27
Let's simplify both sides:
40/x = 20/9
or
x/40 = 9/20
Multiplying both sides by 40, we have:
(40/40)x = (20/9)*40
Let's simplify one more time:
x = (20*40)/(9)
or
x = 200/3
Hope this helps!
Understanding the Question
This may not be the actual way that the US government prepares the CPI, but it will provide a comparison.
You can set up a proportion. The base number for the CPI is 38.8 in 1970. That number (38.8) has more than doubled to get to 82.4, which also tells us that there was inflation. What your parents and grandparents bought in 1970 went to double the amount in 1980. Gasoline certainly did that.
Givens
CPI in 1970 = 38.8
CPI in 1980 = 82.4
Eggs 1970 = 0.25
Edgs 1980 = X
Formula substitution and solution
CPI 1970 / CPI 1980 = cost of eggs 1970 / cost of eggs 1980
38.8/82.4 = 0.25 / x Cross multiply
38.8 * x = 0.25 * 82.4
38.8 * x = 20.625
x = 20.628 /38.8
x = 0.53 dollars of 53 cents.
53 cents in 1980 which is slightly double as predicted.
Footnote
As a matter of interest, my wife tells me that eggs now cost about 3.58 where we live. That's almost 7 times as expensive as they were in 1980. Something to think about. By the way, the price quoted is in Canada.
X=skirt
y=sweater
z=shoes
x+y+z=165
y=8/7x
z=x+11
plug it in
x+(8/7x)+(x+11)=165
2x+8/7x=154
22/7x=154
x=49
y=56
z=60
a skirt cost $49, a sweater cost $56, and a pair of shoes cost $60
No, they are not like terms because they cannot be added together. 5x^2 is squared, whereas 2x is not. Though they both have x variables attached to them, they are not like terms because one is squared and the other is not. Examples of like terms include 5 and 8, 4y and 7y, 8z^2 and 10z^2.
Hope this helps!! :)
