Answer: $184

$84 = p/2 - $8

$84 + $8 = p/2

$92 = p/2

$92*2 = p

P = $184

Step-by-step explanation:

onsidering that the original price was first halved and then subtracted by 8$ to get a value of 84$, you can reverse all the steps made to get 84$. So first, 84$ + 8$, then (84$+8$) * 2 to reverse it from being halved, and your answer is 184$.

4, Find a number x such that x = 1 mod 4, x 2 mod 7, and x 5 mod 9.
olchik [2.2K]

4, 7 and 9 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem.

Start with

x=7\cdot9+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv63\equiv64-1\equiv-1\equiv3\pmod4

We have 3^2\equiv9\equiv1\pmod4, so we can multiply the first term by 3 to guarantee that we end up with 1 mod 4.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 7, the first and last terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv72\equiv2\pmod7

which is what we want, so no adjustments needed here.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 9, the first two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv140\equiv5\pmod9

so we don't need to make any adjustments here, and we end up with x=401.

By the Chinese remainder theorem, we find that any x such that

x\equiv401\pmod{4\cdot7\cdot9}\implies x\equiv149\pmod{252}

is a solution to this system, i.e. x=149+252n for any integer n, the smallest and positive of which is 149.

What is the area of the trapezoid? The diagram is not drawn to scale.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The area of trapezoid is 72 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A trapezoid with given dimensions.

We have to find the area of trapezoid ABCD.

Consider the given trapezoid ABCD ,

AB = EF = 8 cm

and CE = FD = 4 cm

Then CD = CE + EF + FD = 4 + 8 + 4 = 16 cm

Thus, Area of trapezoid = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \text{(Sum of parallel sides)} \cdot height

here, height = 6 cm

and sum of parallel sides = AB + CD = 16 + 8 = 24 cm

Thus,  Area of trapezoid = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 24 \cdot 6

Simplify, we have,

Area of trapezoid = 72 cm²

Thus, The area of trapezoid is 72 cm²
