2/3-1/3= 1/3

So Shane grew 1/3 of an inch more hair than his brother.

-x - 1 = 221 + 2x <br> plzzzzzzzzz help

Otrada [13]

$Simplifying
-1x + -1 = 221 + 2x

Reorder the terms:
-1 + -1x = 221 + 2x

Solving
-1 + -1x = 221 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
-1 + -1x + -2x = 221 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: -1x + -2x = -3x
-1 + -3x = 221 + 2x + -2x$
$Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-1 + -3x = 221 + 0
-1 + -3x = 221

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + -3x = 221 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -3x = 221 + 1
-3x = 221 + 1

Combine like terms: 221 + 1 = 222
-3x = 222

Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -74

Simplifying
x = -74$

An online retailer collects 7% sales tax. If the sub total of the purchase is $76.00, then how much is collected for sales tax?

jok3333 [9.3K]

The collected tax on purchase of $76.00 is $5.32

Further explanation:

The sales tax is calculated on the total sales by the formula

$Tax = total * \frac{7}{100}$

Given

Total purchase = $76.00

Percentage of tax = 7%

So,

Putting the values in the formula

$Tax\ amount = 76.00 * \frac{7}{100}\\= 5.32$

So, the collected tax on purchase of $76.00 is $5.32

Ben made a model (shown below) of the square pyramid he plans to build when he grows up.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$336 m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a square pyramid is the sum of the area of the squared base + 4 times the area of each triangular face, therefore:

$A=A_b + 4A_t$

where:

$A_b=L^2$ is the area of the base, where

L is the length of the base

$A_t=\frac{1}{2}Lh$ is the area of each triangular face, where

h is the height of the face

Substituting,

$A=L^2+2Lh$

For the model in this problem,

L = 12

h = 8

Therefore, the surface area here is:

$A=12^2 +2(12)(8)=336$

-x^2 + 4x + 12 = -3x + 24

-> x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0

-> (x-3)(x-4) = 0

-> x= 3 or 4

so y = 15 when x = 3, y = 12 when x = 4

In terms of rigid transformations (reflections, rotations, and translations), what does this difference represent?

makvit [3.9K]

Solution:

There are four kinds of rigid transformations.

1. Reflection

2. Rotation

3. Translation

4. Dilation

1. The Meaning of term reflection is when we reflect something through a line or mirror the distance of object from line of reflection on both sides are same. The two images Preimage and image are congruent.

2. Rotation means rotating an object or geometrical shape through an angle. An angle can be of any measure that is 0,30°,45°,90°,...... In rotation the two , image and preimage are congruent.

3. While in translation , we shift something from a place to another place keeping the two images,that is image and preimage are congruent.

In all three,either in reflection, rotation,or translation there is no change in shape and size, the two that is image and Preimage are congruent.
