Hello!

\large\boxed{9 \%}

To find the percent tax, use the equation:

\text{ \% tax} = \frac{\text{ price after - initial price}}{\text{initial price}}

Substitute in the given values:

\text{ \% tax} = \frac{\text{ 21.80 - 20}}{\text{20}} \\\\\text{ \% tax} = \frac{1.80}{20} = 0.09

Multiply by 100 to find the percent tax:

0.09 * 100 = 9\%

Find the value of x then classify the triangle by its angles
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + x + 60 = 180.

first, we add the x's together.

4x + 60 = 180

then we see if they all have a common multiple. in this case, they do. they are all divisible by 4, so we can use that.

x + 15 = 45

then, just subtract 15 from both sides, that way we get the variable by itself.

x = 30

also, it is a right triangle. the top angle (3x) multiplied by 3 is 90. any triangle that has a 90 degree angle is automatically a right triangle.

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.<br> 5v+110
madam [21]

Answer: 5(v + 22).

Step-by-step explanation: The distributive property is a property of mathematics that says that multiplying the sum of two or more terms by another term will give the same result as multiplying each term individually by the other term and then adding the products together. Thus, we can factor the given equation and get 5(v + 22).
