Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
-8(-3 + x) = -56
Distribute the -8 into the (-3 + x).
24 - 8x = -56
Subtract 24 from both sides.
-8x = -80
Divide both sides by -8.
x = 10.
Proof:
-8(-3 + x) = -56
Substitute variable.
-8(-3 + 10) = -56
Add inside parenthesis.
-8(7) = -56
Multiply.
-56 = -56

Answer:
140°
Step-by-step explanation:
The long arc intercepted by angle c is 360° -80° = 280°. The measure of inscribed angle c is half the measure of the arc it intercepts.
c = 280°/2 = 140°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
%profit = selling price - cost price/cost price * 100
If Mr. Wayne marks up every item with a profit of 25% and x be his cost for a calculator, the expression for the selling price can be gotten by substituting the parameters into the formula;
25 = sp-cp/cp * 100
25/100 = sp-x/x
0.25 = sp-x/x
cross multiply
0.25x = sp-x
add x to both sides
0.25x+x = sp-x+x
1.25x = sp
selling price = 1.25x
<em>Hence an expression for the selling price of the calculator is 1.25x</em>
<em></em>
b) If Mr wayne paid $25, the selling price is derived by substituing x = $25 into the expression in (a)
selling price = 1.25x
selling price = 1.25($25)
selling price = $31.25
c) If the selling price is $86, to get the cost of the calculator, substitute the selling price into the expression in (a)
selling price = 1.25x
$86= 1.25x
x is the cost price of the calculator
divide both sides by 1.25
$86/1.25= 1.25x/1.25
x = $68.8
<em>Hence Wayne paid $68.8 for a calculator that he sells for $86.</em>
the answer is, c) distributive
Identity Property of Zero!
I hope this helps xD
