Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms and solve for x

3x + 8 = x - 12

3x= x - 20

2x = -20

x = -10

A line is represented by the equation y/x-2=3/11. What are the coordinates of some points that line on the line?
Galina-37 [17]

y/x-2=3/11 would be easier to work with if we were to put it into a more standard form, e. g., y = mx + b.

First, add 2 to both sides, to isolate y/x:

y/x = 3/11 + 22/11 = 25/11.

Next, mult. both sides by x, to get y by itself:  y = (25/11)x.  

This is your function.

Now make a table.  You can choose any x values you want, and then calculate y for each one.

x   y

0  0

1   25/11

3  (25/11)*3 = 75/11

Then we have three points on this line: (0,0), (1, 25/11), 3, 75/11).  You could obtain more by choosing additional x values.

Jayanti takes shortest route to her home by walking diagonally across a rectangular park. The park measures 60 meters ×80 meters
hjlf

Answer:

The route across the park is 40 meter shorter than the route around its edges.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the distance for both routes

As the route around the edges is straight,  we have to find the sum of length of both edges

Let R_E be the distance of route around edges

R_E = 80+60 = 140\ meters

Now we know that a diagonal divides a rectangle in two right angled triangles in which the diagonal is the hypotenuse.

We can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of the diagonal

So,

H^2 = P^2 + B^2

In the given scenario

P = 60

B = 80

Now

H^2 = (60)^2 + (80)^2\\H^2 = 3600+6400\\H^2 = 10000\\\sqrt{H^2} = \sqrt{10000}\\H = 100\ meters

In order to calculate that how much shorter is the path across the park, we have to subtract the distance across park from the distance across edges.

= 140-100 = 40\ meters

Hence,

The route across the park is 40 meter shorter than the route around its edges.

Notebooks cost $ 1.20 each. This weekend they will be on sale for $ 0.80. What percentage is the sale
Rainbow [258]

From the information we have, we know that each book costs 1.20 dollars. So we shall say this price is at 100% .

Now we need to form an equation to get the percentage  when the books are sold at 0.80 dollars.

100% = 1.20

       x = 0. 80

Where x is the new percentage when the sale is at 0.80 dollars.

We cross multiply the equation:

1.20 *x = 0.80 * 100

1.2x = 80

x = 80/1.2

x = 66.7%

Round off 66.7 to the nearest tenth we get 67%

The notebooks are sold at 67% (of the original cost).
