The question is incomplete as the cost price isn't given. However, taking the cost price as x :

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A car costs$cents when new. It was sold for four fifths of its cost price. How much money was lost on the car.

Let :

Cost price when new = x

Cost price when sold = 4/5 * cost price when new

Cost when sold = 4/5 of x = 4x/5

Amount of money lost on the car = (Cost price of car when new - Cost of car when sold)

Hence,

Amount of money lost on the car = (x - 4x/5)

x - 4x/5 = (5x - 4x) / 5 = x / 5

To obtain the exact price, kindly input the omitted cost when new for x.

Answer:

Excluded Value :  3 and  -5  

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

Excluded Value :    and    

the excluded value when : x²+2x-15=0

( x²+2x+1)-1-15=0

means : (x+1)²-16=0       (x+1)²-4² = 0

by identity : a²-b² =(a-b)(a+b)

(x+1-4)(x+1+4) =0   so :      (x-3)(x+5) =0  means : x-3=0 or x+5=0

x=3 or x= -5

Excluded Value :  3 and -5

Find the y-intercept of a line parallel to 8x – 2y = 12 and passes through the point (5, 3).
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

8x -2y= 12

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>whole</em><em> </em><em>equation</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>:</em>

4x -y= 6

<em>Rewrite the equation into the slope-intercept form (y=mx+c, where m is the gradient while c is the y-intercept).</em>

-y= -4x +6

y= 4x -6

Thus, gradient of given line= 4.

Since parallel lines have the same gradient, gradient of line= 4.

y= 4x +c

<em>To find the y-intercept of the lone, substitute a pair of coordinates.</em>

When x=5, y=3,

3= 4(5) +c

3= 20 +c

c= 3 -20

c= -17

Thus, the y-intercept of the line is -17.

4 - 5/2 * (1/10x) = 1 what is the value of x
Inga [223]

4 - 5 / 2 * (1/10x) = 1\\

The first step is to identify the order in which the equation must be solved, by following PEMDAS (you might know it as BEDMAS):

Parenthesis (or Brackets)

Exponents

Multiplication and Division

Addition and Subtraction

My advice would be to add parenthesis, following these rules, if you are not very good at finding them immediately by sight.

So:

4 - 5 / 2 * (\frac{1}{10x})  = 1\\\\4 - [(5/2)*(\frac{1}{10x})]=1\\\\4-(2.5*\frac{1}{10x})=1\\\\4-\frac{2.5}{10x}-1=0\\3-\frac{x}{4}=0\\\frac{x}{4}=3\\x=3*4\\x=12

We check our answer:

x=12\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (1/10)*(x)] = 1\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (\frac{1}{10}) * (12))] = 1\\4 - [2.5 * (\frac{1}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{2.5}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{1}{4})*12] = 1\\4 - 3 = 1\\1=1

We are right!

So, x=12.
