Answer:

x= 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to get x alone, so do inverse operations.

(Basically, reverse what it is)

4(x-3)=9

divide 4 by both sides to get rid of 4 on left side

9/4 = 2.25

(x-3) = 2.25

Now add 3 to both sides, to get x alone

2.25 + 3 = 5.25

x=5.25

Check work

4(5.25-3) = 9

4(2.25) = 9

9=9

Original price - $82. Percent of discount-?? Sale price - $65.60

emmasim [6.3K]

To determine a percentage difference, simply divide the difference of the two numbers by the original. For instance, 82-65.60=16.4 16.4 is 20% of 82, so the discount is 20% (16.4/82)

The circle below is centered at the point (5 3 ) and has a radius of length 4 what is its equation

sleet_krkn [62]

The equation of the circle is may be expressed as,
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where h and k are the abscissa and ordinates of its center, respectively, and r is radius. Substituting the given values to the equation above,
(x - 5)² + (y - 3)² = 4²
Simplifying further the equation gives,
x² + y² - 10x - 6y + 18

Which is not a characteristic of an exponential parent function?

zaharov [31]

Given:

The characteristic of an exponential parent function in the options.

To find:

Which is not a characteristic of an exponential parent function?

Solution:

The exponential parent function is:

$y=b^x$

Where, $b>0$ .

At $x=0$ ,

$y=b^0$

$y=1$

It means the function passes through the point (0,1) but it does not passes through the origin. So, the statement in option A is true but the statement in option C is false.

The domain of the exponential parent function is all real numbers and the range is positive real numbers (y > 0). So, the statements in the options B and D are true.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
