Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"The difference of two numbers is 15."

x-y = 15

x>y

"Five times the smaller number is the same as 9 less than twice the larger number."

5y = 2x-9

y = x-15

substitution

5(x-15) = 2x-9

5x-75 = 2x-9

3x = 66

x = 22

y = x-15 = 7

A new grocery store is expected to have a fair market value of $2,856,000. It will be assessed at 40%, and the tax rate is $5.24
olganol [36]
Assessed Value = (Fair Market Value) x (0.40) Where 0.40 is the decimal equivalent of 40%. Tax Rate = $5.24/$100 of assessed value = $0.0524 per dollar of assessed value. Taxes = (Assessed Value) x (Tax Rate) = (Assessed Value) x ($0.0524) Hope this helps!

1. Write the equation for a line in point slope form that had a slope of 4 and passes through (1,1)
Dahasolnce [82]

Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Slope = m = 4
  • Given point: (x₁,y₁) = (1,1) [x₁ = 1; y₁ = 1]
  • Formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

<u>Use the formula to convert the line in point slope form.</u>

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • y - 1 = 4(x - 1)

The equation of the line (In point slope form) is y - 1 = 4(x - 1).
