Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = price of the dress before reductions

If the price is reduced by 60%, the price would be (100% - 60%) = 40%

Price after first reduction=  0.4x

Price after second reduction = 0.4(0.4x)

0.16x = $80

Divide both sides by 0.16

x = $500

49 more than the quotient of an unknown number and 12 is 53. What is the value of the unknown number?
nalin [4]
The unknown number is 48 using the equation: x ÷ 12 +49=53 subtract 49 from both sides and get x ÷ 12 = 4 multiplying by 12 on both side to get rid of the ÷12 and get the final answer of x=48.

The sum of two numbers is 48. If one third of one number is 5 greater than one sixth of another number, which of the following i
lubasha [3.4K]
<span>The sum of two numbers is 48.
a + b = 48
;
If one third of one number is 5 greater than one sixth of another number,
a = b + 5
multiply both sides by 6, cancel the fractions
2a = b + 30
2a - b = 30
</span><span>use elimination to solve this
a + b = 48
2a - b =30
-------------Addition eliminates b, find a
3a = 78
a = 
a = 26
then
26 + b = 48
b = 48 - 26

b = 22</span>

I need solving 4.8 (x+4)=2.6
victus00 [196]
<span>4.8 (x+4)=2.6
Use distributive property
4.8x + 19.2= 2.6
Subtract 19.2 from both sides
4.8x = -16.6
Divide 4.8 on both sides so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable x.
Final Answer: x = -3.458</span>

I'm not sure what trig function to use. Someone please help, and please answer sedulously, and not just for points. Thank you in

Answer:

w = 6.7451

x = 8.0805

Step-by-step explanation:

Find W

Tan(56) = opposite / adjacent

opposite = 10

Adjacent = w

Tan (56) = 10/w

w*Tan(56) = 10

w = 10 / tan(56)

w = 10/ 1.4826

w = 6.7451

Find x

Tan (34) = 10 / (w + x)

Tan (34) = 0.6745

(w + x) * Tan(34) = 10

w + x = 10 / tan(34)

w+ x = 10 / 0.6745

w + x = 14.826

But we found w = 6.7451

6.7451 + x = 14.826

x = 14l826 - 6.7451

x = 8.0805

Simplify: (-3x^3+2x^2+4x)-(8x^4-5x^3+6x^2-2x
sergejj [24]

Answer:

−8^4+2^3−4^2+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the - to 8x^4-5x^3+6x^2-2x:

-8x^4+5x^3-6x^2+2x

Now simplify:

-3x^3+2x^2+4x-8x^4+5x^3-6x^2+2x= −8^4+2^3−4^2+6

Hope this helps!
