The practice of tacking 9/10 of a cent on the end of a gas price goes back to when gas cost only pennies per gallon and was a tax imposed by state and federal governments. Gas stations added the fraction of a cent on the end of the price instead of rounding up the price.

Explanation:

A triangle equals 180°, and they gave us one length already, and it says the one arm of the triangle is equal to the other so we know that the third angle is going to be the same as the second angle.


180=90+(6x+3)+(6x+3)
Combine like terms
180=96+12x
Subtract 96 from both sides
84=12x
Divide 12 by both sides
7=x


Now check it,

90+(6*7+3)+(6*7+3)
90+(45)+(45) =180

If you go out to eat with 3 friends and your meal was $72.50, what should you leave for gratuninty if you want to tip your waite
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

$10.88 or round up to $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 15 is expressed as a percent, you can convert it to a decimal.

.15, which can also be 15/100 if you were to write it as a fraction.

You are trying to find 15% of 72.50 so you would need to multiply your new decimal (.15) to your meal total. This will give you 10.875 or 10.88.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (1,5) and (0,3)?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

y=2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

first use the y2-y1/x2-x1 then use y=mx+b after

plug in 3 for y2 and 5 for y1

then plug in 0 for x2 and 1 for x1

\frac{3-5}{0-1}=\frac{-2}{-1} =2 and 2 is ur slope

___________________

now use y=mx+b

i usually use the first point but u can u anyone u want

plug in 1 for x

plug in 5 for y

and plug in 2 for m

5=2(1)+b

5=2+b

subtract 2 on both sides

5-2=3

3=b and b is ur y-intercept

y=2x+3

hope this helps
