Answer:

JL = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

JL = JK + KL

JK = KL

8x+11 =14x-1

12 = 6x

x = 2

substitute for x:

8(2)+11 + 14(2)-1 = JL

JL = 16+11+28-1

JL = 54

A store owner paid $15 dollars for a book. she marked up the price of the book by 40% to determine it's selling price.

Tcecarenko [31]

A) $15 ÷ 40% =
15×.4= 6
15+6= 21

B) $38 × .25=9.5
38-9.5=28.50

28.50×.06=1.71
28.50+1.17=30.21

I think this is how you do it. would wait for other answers as well to double check.

4/5 divided by 1/3 plus 1/5 minus 3/5

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

Solution Steps:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:fractions\:}\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}:\quad -\frac{2}{5}$

$=\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a}=\frac{b}{c\:\cdot \:a}$

$=\frac{4}{5\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}\right)}$

join $\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}:\quad -\frac{1}{15}$

$=\frac{4}{5\left(-\frac{1}{15}\right)}$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=\frac{4}{-5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{4}{5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}5\cdot \frac{1}{15}\::\quad \frac{1}{3}$

$=-\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}\:\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}:\quad \frac{12}{1}$

$=-\frac{12}{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{1}=a$

$=-12$

Therefore

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

A child is hopping along a sidewalk. The ratio table below shows the comparison between the number of hops and the distance trav

natima [27]

First we rewrite the table:
20 30
50 75
80 120
150 ?
We observe that for each 30 number of hops, the distance increases by 45 feet.
We must find the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (75-30) / (50-20)
m = 1.5
Then, the line is:
y = 1.5x
We substitute x = 150
y = 1.5 * (150)
y = 225
Answer:
Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1: 1.5), then multiply 150 by 1.5.

Find the angle sum of the irregular polygon using the formula S= 180(n-2).

lesya [120]

Answer:

720°

Step-by-step explanation:

The "n" in the formula refers to the number of sides. The polygon shown has 6 sides, so the sum of interior angles is ...

S = 180°(6 -2) = 720°
