Answer:

2x -8 =6

add 8 to -8 and 6.

the 8s cancel each other out and 6 +8 =14.

next you are going to divide 2x diveded by 2 and 14 by 2. the twos cancel out so its just x and then 14/2 is 7.

the answer is 7. hope this helps dude.

Determine whether each scale factor produces an expansion or a contraction under a dilation of the original image

blondinia [14]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the absolute value of the scale factor is less than 1, then the dilation produces a contraction of the original image

If the absolute value of the scale factor is greater than 1, then the dilation produces an expansion of the original image

<u><em>Verify each value</em></u>

1) -4

$\left|-4\right|=4$

$4> 1$

therefore

The dilation produces an expansion of the original image

2) 0.25

$\left|0.25\right|=0.25$

$0.25 < 1$

therefore

The dilation produces a contraction of the original image

3) -2/3

$\left|-2/3\right|=2/3$

$2/3 < 1$

therefore

The dilation produces a contraction of the original image

4) 2.3

$\left|2.3\right|=2.3$

$2.3 > 1$

therefore

The dilation produces an expansion of the original image

The price of a pair of jeans is $25. If there is a 15% discount, what is the sale price of the jeans?

dusya [7]

Answer:

$29.41

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the discount price is 25 and the original is unknown so call it x. The sale is 15% off and that means that the jeans are 85% of what they used to be since 100-15 is 85. Then you plug it into a formula of 25/x = 85/100 then you cross multiply to get 2500=85x and when you solve for x and round you get $29.41
