Answer:

Avery needs to pay $14.84

Step-by-step explanation:

When there's a tax we need to sum the original value of the product with the tax's value. To find the amount of money Avery needs to pay in taxes we can apply a rule of three as shown below:

\frac{14}{x} = \frac{100}{6} \frac{\%}{\%}

Where "x" is the tax value, and $14 represents 100%, since it's the value used to calculate the tax. We have:

x = \frac{14*6}{100}\\x = \frac{84}{100}\\x = 0.84

The value to be paid is the product value plus the tax, therefore:

\text{paid} = 14 + 0.84 = 14.84

Avery needs to pay $14.84

Identify and EXPLAIN the ERROR
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Error: Sariah treated every term as though it were an x-term. 5 and -4.5 are constants that cannot be combined with the x-terms. They can only be combined with each other.

Correct solution: 31x + 0.5

Strategy: Pay attention to the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

In her first step, it appears Sariah added 13x and 5 to get 18x. These terms are not <em>like terms</em>, so cannot be added in this way. An appropriate strategy is to first identify all the terms with the same <em>variables</em> (x in this case), then add their <em>coefficients</em>.

... = x(13 +17 +1) +5 -4.5

Likewise, all the <em>constant</em> terms can be added.

... = 31x +(5 -4.5)

... = 31x + 0.5

What is the range of possible sizes for side x? the other two sides are 8.0 and 8.5
kirza4 [7]

Answer: 0.5 < x < 16.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Two sides of triangle: 8.0 units and 8.5 units

Measure of third side = x

According to the triangle's inequality,

  • Sum of any two sides > third side.    (i)
  • Difference between the sides < third side.    (ii)

If x is the third side, then

x < 8+8.5   [Using (i)]

i.e. x< 16.5  

Also, x > 8.5-8   [Using (ii)]

i.e. x> 0.5

Hence, Range of possible sizes for side x would be 0.5 < x < 16.5.

What conic section is drawn by the parametric equations x=csc t and y cot?
Vanyuwa [196]
If we take the square of x and square of y and then subtract them:
                         (csc t)²-(cot t)²=1                      ( this eq. gets from basic identity 
                               x²-y²=1......a                                               1+cot²x=csc²x)
  
 equation 'a' represent the equation of hyperbola which is (x²/a²)-(y²/b²) =1 with given conditions( a=1,b=1)

So, option D is correct
