<h3>Answer: 130</h3>

Explanation:

Let x be the unknown angle we want to find.

Let y be adjacent and supplementary to x. This means x+y = 180

Let z also be adjacent and supplementary to x. So x+z = 180 also

Subtracting the two equations leads to y-z = 0 and y = z. So effectively we've proven the vertical angle theorem.

Since the supplementary angles to x add to 100, we know that y+z = 100. Plug in y = z and solve for z

y+z = 100

z+z = 100

2z = 100

z = 100/2

z = 50

Therefore,

x+z = 180

x+50 = 180

x = 180-50

x = 130

Jake is buying a sweater with the price of 30 dollars the store is having a sell that will reduce the price by 30%. Sales tax of

shusha [124]

Answer:Jake's total cost is $22.05

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial price of the sweater is $30. The store is having a sell that will reduce the price by 30%. This means that there is a reduction in the original amount of the sweater by 30% which is expressed as

30/100 × 30 = $9

The new price of the sweater would be 30 - 9 = $21

Since a sales tax of 5% will be added to the final purchase price, the value of the tax would be

5/100 × 21 = 0.05×21 = $1.05

Jake's total cost would be

21 + 1.05 = $22.05

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-5,7) and (2,3)

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in order to solve this problem, I started off by drawing it out. On my graph that I have attached below, I first started out by locating the points (-5,7) and (2,3). Now, this is an optional step, but I highly encourage practicing your graphing skills by solving this problem on graph paper as well. Next, I connected the two points that I just graphed. This is the line that passes through (-5,7) and (2,3).

Now, here is where the actual solving starts. If you haven't already been taught this yet, I will introduce it to you now. I am going to find the equation of this line by filling in what I know in the equation y=mx+b, where m= the slope of the line, and b= y intercept.

Slope of the line: m= $\frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2} } = \frac{7-3}{-5-2} = \frac{4}{-7}= -\frac{4}{7}$

If you haven't been taught how to find the slope of a line I recommend you find out.

Substitute the slope into the equation.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\$

Now, we will solve for the 'b,' or y intercept.

We already have x and y values to use: (-5,7) or (2,3). I'll use x=2 and y=3 to solve for the y intercept.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\\\3=-\frac{4}{7} *2+b\\\\3=-\frac{8}{7} +b\\b=3+\frac{8}{7} \\b=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{8}{7}=\frac{29}{7} =4\frac{1}{7} \\b=4\frac{1}{7}$

Last step: substitute the slope and y intercept into y=mx+b.

$y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

That is the answer to this problem.

I hope this helps.
