Answer:

$675

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of laptop

Discount = 10%

Actual price paid = x - 10% of x

= x - .10x

= .90x

Cost of mouse = $13.99

Total amount paid = $621.49

Total amount paid = actual cost of laptop + Cost of mouse

621.49 = .90x + 13.99

621.49 - 13.99 = .90x

607.5 = .90x

x = 607.5 / .90

= 675

Original cost of the laptop = $675

How do you solve this equation?<br>step by step...<br>-9(x-9)=252
katovenus [111]
Well think about it this way -9 times what equals 252 you already know x is going to be a negative number because the outcome is positive so try doing the problem backwards 252/-9=-28 so x=-28

The area of the trapezium is 63cm and the top is 6cm and the bottom is 12cm what’s the height
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

height = 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated using the formula

A = \frac{1}{2} h(a + b)

where h is the height and a, b the parallel bases

here a = 6, b = 12 and A = 63, hence

\frac{1}{2} × h × (6 + 12) = 63

\frac{1}{2} h × 18 = 63

9h = 63 ( divide both sides by 9 )

h = 7

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

4000 nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion from meters to nanometers: 1 meter is 1(10⁹) nm

Step 1: Convert 0.000004 to scientific notation

0.000004 = 4(10⁻⁶)

Step 2: Convert by multiplication

4(10⁻⁶) x 1(10⁹) = 4000 nm
