Answer: $70

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make an equation: since 100% price is equal to $350, you can make this ratio => 100:$350=80:$x

x stands for the cost after 20% discount.

2. Solve by cross multiply: 350*80=100x => 28000=100x => x=280

3. Subtract : to find the amount of discount, subtract the discounted price from the original price => 350-280=70

Have a nice day! :D

What is the slope of -y=-x+6

Katarina [22]

Answer:

m = 1
b = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

-y = -x + 6
y = mx + b

First, we need to change the 'y' sign.

=> -y = -x + 6
=> y = x - 6

Now, let's compare both of the equations to find slope.

=> (y = x - 6) = (y = mx + b)

We can see that the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is -6.

Conclusion:

Therefore:

m = 1
b = -6

Hoped this helped.

Answer:

13) 8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the side length, use a trig function to solve for x.

You have the adjacent side and hypotenuse to the angle. Use the cosine function since its ratio is adjacent over hypotenuse.

This means Cos 52 = x / 14. Solve for x.

Cos 52 = x / 14

14* Cos 52 = x

8.6 = x
