Answer : $36

Explanation:

To find the sale price we can set up a proportion. 25/100 = x/48. We keep the 100 and 48 both on the bottom of the fraction since they represent the "whole". x represents the discount off the full price of the dress. To solve this proportion, we cross multiply, yielding 48 * 25 = 100x. Alternatively, if you notice that 25/100 simplifies to 1/4, we can use 1/4 in our proportion instead of 25/100, thus, 1/4 = x/48. Then, cross multiplying, we get 48 = 4x, so x = 12. Then we subtract this discount from the original price yielding 48 – 12 = 36; thus, she paid $36 for the dress.

25% = 25/100

25100=x48

14=x48

(1) * (48) = (4) * (x)

48 = 4x

(48)/4 = (4x)/4

12 = x

The discount is $12.

$48 – $12 = $36

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

  36 ft by 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to find dimensions of a rectangle such that the perimeter is 104 ft and the area is 576 ft. The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is 52 ft.

The area is the product of length and width, so if w represents the width, we have ...

  w(52 -w) = 576

  w² -52w = -576 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, multiply by -1

  w² -52w +26² = 26² -576 . . . . . .  complete the square

  (w -26)² = 676 -576 = 100

  w = 26 ±√100 =  {16, 36}

If the width is the short dimension, it is 16 feet. Then the length is 36 feet.

Find the exact value of tan(165°) using a difference of two angles
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:  -2+\sqrt{3}

=========================================================

Work Shown:

Apply the following trig identity

\tan(A - B) = \frac{\tan(A)-\tan(B)}{1+\tan(A)*\tan(B)}\\\\\tan(225 - 60) = \frac{\tan(225)-\tan(60)}{1+\tan(225)*\tan(60)}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1+1*\sqrt{3}}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1+\sqrt{3}}\\\\

Now let's rationalize the denominator

\tan(165) = \frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1+\sqrt{3}}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{(1-\sqrt{3})(1-\sqrt{3})}{(1+\sqrt{3})(1-\sqrt{3})}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{(1-\sqrt{3})^2}{(1)^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{(1)^2-2*1*\sqrt{3}+(\sqrt{3})^2}{(1)^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{1-2\sqrt{3}+3}{1-3}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{4-2\sqrt{3}}{-2}\\\\\tan(165) = -2+\sqrt{3}\\\\

----------------------

As confirmation, you can use the idea that if x = y, then x-y = 0. We'll have x = tan(165) and y = -2+sqrt(3). When computing x-y, your calculator should get fairly close to 0, if not get 0 itself.

Or you can note how

\tan(165) \approx -0.267949\\\\-2+\sqrt{3} \approx -0.267949

which helps us see that they are the same thing.

Further confirmation comes from WolframAlpha (see attached image). They decided to write the answer as \sqrt{3}-2 but it's the same as above.

Solution to <br> -7+3w=4w-8
Contact [7]
-7 + 3w = 4w - 8

-7 = 4w - 8 - 3w

-7 = w - 8

-7 + 8 = w

1 = w

What is the solution to this using substitution method pls show ur work
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

x=-6, y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the 3x-9y=-18 equation and add 9y to both sides to have 3x on its own on the left side. Then, divide by 3 on both sides. Then you'll have x=-6+3y. Plus this back into the 5x+4y=-30 equation and you'll get 5(-6+3y)+4y=-30. Use the distributive property and you'll get -30+15y+4y=-30. Simplify and get -30+19y=-30, then add 30 to both sides and you'll get 19y=0. Divide by 19 on both sides and you'll get y=0. Now that we know y=0, plug that back into the 5x+4y=-30 equation, and you'll get 5x+4(0)=-30. Simplify and you'll get 5x=-30. Divide by 5 on both sides and you'll get x=-6.
