Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x * 450 = 18.5                     This means that 450 * a % = 18.50. Divide by 450

x * 450/450 = 18.5/450

x = 0.041111

Multiply by 100 to get a percent.

0. 0411 * 100 = 4.11 %

Answer:

4.0217391 %

The original prices times the tax rate  is equal to the tax

460 * tax rate = 18.50

Divide each side by 460

tax rate = 18.50/460

tax rate =.040217391

writing as a percent ( multiply by 100)

4.0217391 %

12a+6c+10s=1100
sub
a=c
12a+6a+10s=1100
add
18a+10s=1100

multiply first equation by -9 and add to other equation

Jamie kicked a soccer ball that traveled along a path described by the parabola y = -x^2 +8x, where y equals the height of the s
andrey2020 [161]
We have that
<span>y = -x</span>²<span>+8x

we know that
when the ball hint the ground is the x-intercepts of the graph
the x-intercepts is for y=0
so
0=-x</span>²+8x--------> x²-8x=0----> x*(x-8)=0

the solution is
x=0
x=8

the x intercepts are the points (0,0) and (8,0)
the distance between the x intercepts points =[8-0]-----> 8 ft

the answer is
8 ft

see the attached figure
