Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Problems like this require that you recognize that the denominator of the right term is a factor of the denominator of the left term. That is, you're supposed to know how to recognize and factor the difference of two squares.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Total distance = 10 miles
- Total time = 2 hours
- Distance walked = x
- Speed walked = 2 mph
- Distance cycled = 10 - x
- Speed cycled = 15 mph
<u>Using the given data we can have the equation below to the time:</u>
- x/2 + (10 - x)/15 = 2
- 30x/2 + 30(10 - x)/15 = 30(2)
- 15x + 20 - 2x = 60
- 13x = 60 - 20
- 13x = 40
- x = 40/13
- x = 3.08 miles <em>rounded to 2 decimal places</em>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given triangle is a right angle triangle .
The known sides of the triangle that is opposite to angle y is 8 units while the side adjacent is 10 units.
The value of y can be calculated using the tangent ratio.

We solve for y to get,

We evaluate to obtain,

to the nearest degree
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
Cost = T - (15/100) * T
Cost = (85/100)*T
Part B
You are asked to take 15% off the cost of something. The first equation is very clear how to do that -- just take 15% of T away from T
The second part is not so obvious if you are not familiar with it, but the result will be the same.
Start with the first equation
Cost = T - (15/100) T Change 1 T to 100 / 100
Cost = 100*T/100T - 15/100T
Cost = 85 /100 * T
Part C
Cost = Phone - 14 at Top quality. Red in Graph below
Cost = 75/100 * Phone at Big value. Blue in Graph belos
The graph below is a good way to answer this. I won't solve it algebraically when the graph will give you a much better idea which phone to get.
Answer: Up to a phone cost of 55 dollars, the red phone is the better buy.
After 55$ the blue phone is better.
Try this with a couple of values for phone,
The cost of plating a rectangular jewelry box is $125, the cost of plating a similar box that is 8 times the size will be given by:
Cost=(scale factor)*(price)
Cost=125×8
Cost=$1000
Answer:$1000
