The answer appears to be three hundred eighty five can't wait to get those points! Hope your happy with your answer!
Answer:
The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.
They also did not calculate the tax correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price is 499
Discount = original price * percent off
Discount = 499 * .18
=89.82
The sale price = original price minus the discount
sale price = 499-89.82
sale price = 409.18
Sales tax = sale price * tax rate
= 409.18 * 8.875%
=409.18*.08875
=36.314725
Rounding to the nearest cent
36.31
Final cost = sale price + sales tax
=409.18+36.31
445.49

Answer:
9.85
Step-by-step explanation:
I hate these, LOL
We're going to draw a triangle on the graph paper to solve this. (in theory)
The top point is at 2 on the x axis, and the bottom is at 6. That's a difference of 4. Draw a line from the top dot over 4 spaces, so a line dropped from there could go straight to the bottom dot. We'll call this line/side of the triangle a, and a = 4.
Then we drop the line from there (6, 4) down to the second dot at (6, -5). That line is 9 places long. We'll call this line/side of the triangle b, and b = 9.
(This is so much easier to draw than type, I'll attach a picture).
Then we connect the two dots diagonally to form line/side c of our triangle. This is the length we don't know.
The pythagorean theorem says a^2 + b^2 = c^2
So a = 4, b = 9, c is unknown for our triangle
(4)(4) + (9)(9) = c^2
16 + 81 = 97
The square root of 97 = 9.8488, so if they have you round, I would say 9.85
Sorry if this just confused you more.
It would be x=-4 have a good day
