Answer:

He paid $ 531.8 for it

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joshua sold his bike for $585

Since he sold it for 10% less than he paid for it, let the amount he paid for it be x.

Then

x= $585 -(10 % of x)

=$585 - (0.1 x)

Add 0.1x to both sides

(1+0.1)x=585

1.1x=585

Divide both sides by 1.1

x=585/1.1

=531.8

Answer:

The width of the frame must be 12 inches (15in by 12in)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for painting and frame

Required

Determine the dimension of the frame

To do this, we make use of the following scale ratio.

$Scale = Length : Width$

For the painting,

$Scale = 20: 16$

For the frame,

$Scale = 15: w$

Since she wants to maintain the same ratio; both scale must be the same.

i.e.

$15 : w = 20 : 16$

Express as fraction

$\frac{w}{15} = \frac{16}{20}$

$\frac{w}{15} = 0.8$

Make w the subject

$w = 15 * 0.8$

$w = 12$

The width of the frame must be 12 inches i.e. 15in by 12in frame

3x+3y=10 -9x-9y=-30 please help

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Explanation:

In this case we gonna use ELIMINATION BY ADDITION method.For that first we are gonna eliminate the terms containing ( X ).

Equation no 1:

3x + 3y = 10

Equation no 2:

-9x - 9y = -30

Now multiply equation no 1 with (3 )

3(3x + 3y) = 3(10)

9x + 9y = 30 ( equation no 1 )

Now ADD both the equations

9x + 9y = 30

 -9x - 9y =-30

0 = 0
