Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, subtract 0.12 from 2.79. If you do that you assume that the 2.79 includes the tax, so you want to base purchase price.

2.79 - 0.12 = 2.67

The tax is 12 cents on 2.67

% = 0.12/2.67 * 100 = 0.0449 * 100 = 4.49%.

To the nearest % it would be 4%

Which system of linear inequalities Is represented by this graphed solution?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

y ≥ 3x - 1

y < -\frac{1}{2}x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the solid line passing through (x', y') given in graph is,

y = mx + b

Here m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Slope of the solid line =

                                 m = \frac{3}{1}

                                 m = 3

y - intercept 'b' = -1

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = 3x - 1

Since, shaded (blue) area is above the line, inequality that will represent the solution area will be,

y ≥ 3x - 1

For the dotted line,

Slope of the line (m) = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}

                                  = \frac{-2}{4}

                                  = -\frac{1}{2}

y-intercept (b) = 2

Equation of the dotted line → y = -\frac{1}{2}x+2

Since, shaded (grey color) area is below the dotted line,

Inequality representing the solution area will be,

y < -\frac{1}{2}x+2

1) the sum of three consecutive integers even is 3,2,1. find the integers.
BabaBlast [244]

3)The original rational number was 17/12.

4)The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.

Explanation:

3)Let the numerator be x.

So denominator will be (x - 5)

If we add 5 to numberator then it will be (x + 5)

New number is (x + 5)/(x - 5)=11/6

Solve for X by cross multiplying

6(x + 5)=11(x - 5)

6x + 30=11x - 55

5x=85

x=17

So original rational number was 17/12.

4)The ages of Ruby and Reshma are in the ratio 5:7

So, let the present ages of Ruby and Reshma be 5x and 7x respectively.

Also, it is given that four years from now the ratio of their ages will be 3:4

So, the equation - 5x + 4 / 7x + 3 = 3/4

⇒4(5x+4)=3(7x+4)

⇒20x+16=21x+12

⇒21x−20x=16−12

⇒x=4

⇒5x=20 and 7x=28

The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.

Integrated math ll I need help ASAP PLEASE
Rainbow [258]

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

We have 2 conditions:

1 - angles opposed by the vertex - the angles are equal

2 - supplementary angles - the sum of the two angles results in 180

2:

(4X + 15) and (5X + 30) are supplementary angles, so:

(4X + 15) + (5X + 30) = 180

9X = 180 - 15 - 30

9X = 135

<h2>X = 15</h2>

1:

(3Y + 15) and (5X + 30) are angles opposed by the vertex, so they are equal

3Y + 15 = 5X + 30

3Y = 5X + 30 - 15

3Y = 5X + 15   <em>above we have already calculated the value of X</em>

3Y = 5.(15) + 15

3Y = 75 + 15

3Y = 90

Y = 90/3

<h3>Y = 30</h3>
