Answer:

0.15x + 0.15y = 4.20

0.15 * 18 + 0.15y = 4.20

2.7 + 0.15y = 4.20

0.15y = 4.2 - 2.7

y = 1.5/0.15

Answer: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the price of the phone case is x.

Assume the price of the charging cord is y.

Discounted price for phone case : 15% * x

= 0.15x

Discounted price for charging cord = 0.15y

Expression is therefore:

0.15x + 0.15y = 4.20

0.15 * 18 + 0.15y = 4.20

2.7 + 0.15y = 4.20

0.15y = 4.2 - 2.7

y = 1.5/0.15

y = $10

Answer:

the false statement would be option b) (-333) < (-777).

Step-by-step explanation:

in negative numbers, the smallest negative number would be considered larger when compared to a large negative number. additionally, when you plot these numbers on a number line, it is evident that -333 would be closest to 0, and -777 would be the farthest. thus, -333 is larger than -777.

Answer:

8.485

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right isosceles triangle, thus the angles for side a and b are going to be the same, all the angles must all add up to equal 180, thus 180 - 90 = 90 then 90 ÷ 2 = 45 so we now know that angle a and b are 45°, with that said we can now find out what the vale of x is.
Calculates 2 sides based on 3 given angles and 1 side.

a = c·sin(A)/sin(C) = 8.48528 = 6 $\sqrt{2}$
