Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in the given values:
a*5-2*7 = 1 =>
5a = 1 + 14
a = 15/5 = 3
Hi <span>Tysona90!
Let's write it with the X as a 3
8*3-4*3_7(10-3) Now let's solve it 8*3 is 24 and 4*3 is 12 so then we do 24-12 which is 12. So now we have 12_7(10-3) so let's solve the other half which is 10-3 is 7 times 7 (since parenthesis can also mean multiplication) which is 49 so we now have 12_49 which means the answer is A.
Hope this helps!</span>
Answer:
Undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
It's undefined since slope is based on the x coordinate, and since it doesn't change here there is none. It's also undefined because the line is vertical. Hope this helps :)
Answer:
- width: 18 in
- length: 27 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...
W +9 = L
LW = 486
Substituting gives ...
(W+9)W = 486
W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form
(W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor
W = 18 . . . . the positive solution
The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

<em>Comment on factoring</em>
There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.
486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.
You would add up the percentages first, which would bring everything up to 35%. You would then take the original cost of the item, which is $30 and multiple it by the 35%.
The equation would look like...
30 x .35 =
This will give you $10.50, which isn't the final answer.
You would then subtract 10.50 from the $30 that was asked for at the beginning by the retailer.
Your final answer is $19.50. :) Which isn't a bad deal if I say so myself.
