Answer:

1.07 (15 + x) = 42.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

CD= $15

Let the cost of the video game be x

The total cost= 15+x

Hence the equivalent expression is

1.07 (15 + x) = 42.80

open bracket

16.05+1.07x= 42.80

42.80-16.05= 1.07x

26.75=1.07x

x= 26.75/1.07

x= 25

Check

7% tax for CD

=0.07*15

=1.05

total =1.05+15

=$16.05

7% tax for Video game

=0.07* 25

=1.75

total =1.75+25

=$26.75

In all

=26.75+16.05

=$42.8

Answer:

the slope is POSITIVE (answer A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line goes through: (-1, -2)  and ( 2, 1)

Then the slope can be calculated as:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

in our case:

slope = (1 - -2) / (2 - -1) = (1 + 2) / (2 + 1) = 3 / 3 = 1

Therefore, the slope is POSITIVE (answer A)

How do you write 1.92 x 10 0
nordsb [41]
Im guessing your saying how do you write 1.92 x 10 when you multiply you dont need to line up your decimals but it would lookm something like this:
1.92
x 10

and if it was 1.92 and 10.0 it would look like this

1.92
x 10.0

the deimals dont line up because you are multipling but if you were adding or subtrcating then you would have to line it up but not in this case
