Answer: 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

x=unknown discount

64/100=38.40/x

Cross multiply: 64x=3840

x=3840/64

x=60

Solve the system by graphing. Write the solution as an ordered pair. y = 1/3x + 2 y = –x – 2

Dima020 [189]

ANSWER

The solution is where the two graphs intersect, which is
$(-3,1).$

EXPLANATION

The given system of equations are
$y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2$
and

$y = - x - 2$

We need to graph the two equations.

Let us graph

$y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2$
first.

We need at least two points.

You can choose any appropriate value for x and solve for y. Choosing zero makes our working easier. So let us plot the intercepts.

When
$x = 0$

$\Rightarrow \: y = \frac{1}{3} (0) + 2$

$\Rightarrow y = 0 + 2$

$\Rightarrow y = 2$

So this gives us the ordered pair,

$(0,2)$

When
$y = 0$
we get,

$0= \frac{1}{3} x + 2$

$\Rightarrow \: - 2 = \frac{1}{3} x$

$\Rightarrow \: - 2 \times 3= x$

$\Rightarrow \: -6= x$
This also gives the ordered pair

$(-6,0).$

We plot these two points and draw a straight line through them to obtain the blue graph in the attachment.

For the second line

$y = - x - 2$

We again find the intercepts and plot them.

When
$x = 0$

$y = - 0 - 2$

$\Rightarrow \: y = - 2$

This gives the ordered pair

$(0,-2)$

Also, when
$y = 0$

then we have,

$0 = - x - 2$

$2 = - x$

$x = - 2$

Then we again have the ordered pair,

$(-2,0)$

We plot these two points on the same graph sheet to obtain the red graph above.

The intersection of the two lines is
$(-3,1)$

You will get good grades so don't worry much.

Help me solve these step by step please !!!

Anettt [7]

Answer:

#2) is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

the best way to solve any of theses is in the order of pemdas:

●parentheses

●exponents

●multiplication & division

●addition & subtraction

for example lets do #2

9+ (2^2)(4)

the first parenthesis has exponents so you'd do it first. 2^2 (two two times) is 4

9+(4)(4)

when two parentheses are next to Each other you multiply. 4x4 is 16

9+16

then finally you add

use these steps for the rest. just comment if you have any questions
