Answer:
#1. Identity #2. 0 #3. No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
#1.
5y + 2 = (1/2)(10y+4)
5y + 2 = 5y + 2
This would be identity as the equation of the left and right are the same. This is not to be confused with no solution(explained below).
#2.
0.5b + 4 = 2(b+2)
0.5b + 4 = 2b + 4
0.5 b - 2b = 0
b = 0
#3.
-3x + 5 = -3x + 10
This equation has no solution because when you try to bring the -3x to one side, the x variable itself gets eliminated. So, how is it different from identity? Well in the first equation, it is true that when we try to bring the 5y one side it eliminates the y variable, however, that is also true for the constants(since if we try to bring the 2 to one side, it will be 2-2 which will equal 0, thus eliminating each other), but in this case, even if we remove the x, the constants will not equal 0, thus it will have no solution.
Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
= X - 0.2X
= 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
= 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.
Answer:
105
Explanation:
Adding 5% of 100, to 100 is:
100(0.05) + 100
The extra 100 is added because 100(0.05) only gives you what 5% of 100 is.
Answer:
13.60 See the note below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
This is just the reverse of the question you just did. This time you are trying to solve for c
Givens
Solution
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 Substitute the givens.
c^2 = 8^2 + 11^2 Expand
c^2 = 64 + 121 Combine the right side by adding
c^2 = 185 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(185) Complete the operation
c = 13.601 Round to the nearest 1/100 th
c = 13.60 Note: the zero must be there or the answer does not show the nearest 1/100 th
