:) Brainliest pls??

Answer:

The positive solution is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 6 = 5x (Subtract 5x from both sides)

x^2 -5x - 6 = 0 (We can factor this, so there is no need to use the quadratic formula)

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

If the product of the two terms is zero then either one being equal to zero will cause the whole expression to be zero.

The solutions are:

x - 6 = 0 (Add 6 to both sides)

x = 6

x + 1 = 0 (Subtract 1 from both sides)

x = -1

The positive solution is 6.

Determine the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points. Write in simplest form. (3,8) and (1,5)
boyakko [2]

Answer:

y = 3/2x + 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the slope.

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

= 5 - 8 / 1 - 3

= 3/2

The slope is 3/2x.

To find the y-intercept, plug any one of the coordinates into the equation, which is y = 3/2x + b

y = 3/2x + b

8 = 3/2(3) + b

8 = 9/2 + b

7/2 = b

The equation y = 3/2x + 7/2.

The Ray family went out to dinner The price of the meal was $38.95 The sales tax was 7% of the price of the meal. The tip was 18
Andrews [41]

Answer:

$49.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Dinner cost $38.95 before tax and tip are included.  

Directions say to ADD 7% tip first so,

38.95 multiplied by 7%= 2.7265, Round up to $2.73

ADD $38.95 and $2.73 tax= $41.68

Now, multiply $41.68 by 18% to find the tip amount

$41.68 * 18%= 7.5024, Round to $7.50

ADD $41.68 and $7.50 to get answer: $49.18
