<h3>Answer: $225</h3>

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

Explanation:

x = original price

If she saves 20%, then she still pays the remaining 80% which then converts to the decimal form 0.80

The expression 0.80x represents the new price, or sale price, of the dress. We're told this price is $180

Equate the two expressions and solve for x

0.80x = 180

x = 180/0.80

x = 225

The original price is $225

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

Checking the answer:

20% of 225 = 0.20*225 = 45

She saves $45

225 - 45 = 180

This confirms the answer.

For what value of k, -4 is a zero of polynomial x2-x-(2k+2)?

bekas [8.4K]

Hmm
well, um
if -4 is a zero then if we subsitute -4 for x, we should get 0

so
0=(-4)²-(-4)-(2k+2)
0=16+4-2k-2
0=18-2k
2k=18
divide by 2
k=9

k=9
the value k is 9

mestny [16]

Mabel spends 4 hours editing a 3 minute video. she edits at a constant rate. how long does mabel spend to edit a 9 minute video?

she spends 4 hours on a 3 minute video
so there are 60 minutes in an hour
4 hours with 60 minutes- 4x60=240
so she spent 240 minutes on a 3 minute video
3 divided by 240
3/240= 0.0125
so her constant rate is 0.0125 minutes an hour
so divide 9 minutes by her constant rate
9/0.0125 = 720
so she spends 720 minutes on a 9 minute video.
divide 720 by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour
720/60 = 12
so she spends 12 hours on a 9minute video

(a) Descriptive form: The set of natural numbers greater than or equal to 6.

olasank [31]

The set of natural numbers greater than or equal to 6 will be 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, ....

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It should be noted that the first information is about the set of natural numbers greater than or equal to 6. Therefore, they will be 6 and above.

It should be noted that the descriptive form simply states in words the elements that are in a set. It is the verbal description of the elements in the set. It is the determination of the elements that belong to a set and those that doesn't.

Also, the way that a set is described is known as the roster form. In this case, the contents of a set can be described by listing the elements that are in the set which are separated by a comma inside the bracket.

Also, the roster form: (5, 7, 9, 11) indicates odd natural numbers. The numbers that are given are odd.

Given lines p and q are parallel, find the value of x that makes each diagram true.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: for a the answer is 140° and for b x=25°

Step-by-step explanation:

for a, when you have 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal,the corresponding angles are congruent. and the angle140 is congruent to the corresponding angle as they are vertical angles are congruent.

for b, angle x is congruent to the angle that is supplementary to 155 therefore 180-155=25°
