Answer:
(2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the system:
y=x+2
y=3x-2.
This is already setup for substitution.
I'm going to replace my first y with what the second y equals.
That is, I'm going to write 3x-2=x+2.
Time to solve the following for x:
3x-2=x+2
Subtract x on both sides:
2x-2= 2
Add 2 on both sides:
2x. = 4
Divide both sides by 2:
x. = 2
Now that we know x=2 and we have an equation that relates x to y: either y=x+2 or y=3x-2, doesn't matter which we use, we can find y.
So we y=x+2 with x=2 which means y=2+2=4.
So the solution, the intersection, is (2,4).
Answer: The ramp would be 15.5 feet long.
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for details.
Angle C shows the angle to be formed by the ramp from the ground, which is 15 degrees. Also, from the ground, it’s going to be four feet tall, which is line AB. The top of the ramp is point A, which makes line AC the entire length of the ramp. Since we have a reference angle (angle C) and two sides, the opposite and the hypotenuse, we shall apply the trigonometric ratio.
SinC = opposite/hypotenuse
Sin 15 = 4/b
By cross multiplication we now have
b = 4/Sin15
b = 4/0.2588
b = 15.4599
Approximately b = 15.5
Therefore the length of the ramp would be 15.5 feet
The answer to the question is d.
Answer:
5/100 = 0.056 sales tax
$12+$26+$125 = $163 total purchase without tax
163*0.056 = 9.128 tax based on how much she bought
$163 + 9.128 = $172.128 total amount she paid (b)
