Answer: 14500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the mobile phone before the GST was added be represented by x.

Therefore,

x + (12% × x) = 16240

x + 0.12x = 16240

1.12x = 16240

x = 16240/1.12

x = 14500

The price of the mobile phone before the GST was added was 14500

Line N passes through the points (–1, 4) and (–1, –4).Which is true of line N? Line N is a vertical line with an undefined slope

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Line N is a vertical line with an undefined slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the points that line N passes through are graphed, they form a vertical line.

All vertical lines have an undefined slope.

We can also check if it's undefined by finding the slope.

$m=\frac{-4-4}{-1+1}=\frac{-8}{0}$

The quotient would be undefined. You cannot divide by zero.

Hope this helps.

Find two consecutive even numbers such that the difference of one-half the larger and two-fifths the smaller is equal to 38

expeople1 [14]

EXPLANATION

The consecutive even numbers are
$370 \: and \: 372$

EXPLANATION

Let
$x$
be the first even number then, the next even number will be,

$x + 2$

The difference of one-half the larger one and two-fifth the smaller one is 38 gives the equation,

$\frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - \frac{2}{5} x = 38$

We multiply through with an LCM of 10 to get,

$10 \times \frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - 10 \times \frac{2}{5} x = 38 \times 10$

This simplifies to,

$5(x + 2) - 4x = 380$

We expand the brackets to get,

$5x + 10 - 4x = 380$

We group like terms to get,

$5x - 4x = 380 - 10$

This simplifies to
$x = 370$

Therefore the next even number is is
$372$
