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

Tom and his friend are driving to Tameka is taking the same 432-mile round trip as Tom to Louisville, but renting a car at a spe
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: The correct answer is $ 134.42 for the gas and the rental.

Step-by-step explanation: The trip is 432 miles and Tameka's car gets 35 miles to the gallon. So we have to figure out how many gallons we would use for the entire trip by dividing 432 by 35= 12.34 gallons of gas.

We know gas is $2.79 a gallon so we multiply 2.79 (cost per gallon) x 12.34 ( our total gallons used) =$34.43 in gasoline.

The rental costs $99.99 so we add that cost and the cost of the gas $34.43= $134.42 the total cost of the rental and the gas.

Find the solution set for this equation:<br> -a2+4a=0<br> (Separate the two values with a comma)
Rashid [163]

\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: \{ 0,4 \}

____________________________________

\large \tt Solution  \: :

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: -  {a}^{2}  + 4a = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: - ( {a}^{2}  - 4a) = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: {a}^{2}  - 4a = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:a(a - 4) = 0

The two cases are :

  • a = 0

or

  • a -4 = 0, that leads to a = 4

We can conclude :

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:solution \: (a)  = \{ 0,4\}

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 inches. If the base is longer than half of the two other equal sides by 2 inches, f
Leona [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let equal sides of an isosceles triangle = a inches

Base = \frac{1}{2}a+2 inches

Perimeter  = 32 inches

a + a + \frac{1}{2}a+2 = 32

2a + \frac{1}{2}a+2 = 32\\\\\frac{2a*2}{1*2}+\frac{1}{2}a+2=32\\\\\frac{4a}{2}+\frac{1}{2}a+2=32\\\\\frac{5}{2}a+2 = 32\\\\

Subtract 2 from both sides

\frac{5}{2}a=32-2\\\\\frac{5}{2}a=30\\\\a=30*\frac{2}{5}\\\\a=6*2

a = 12 inches

base = \frac{1}{2}*12+2

        = 6 + 2

Base = 8 inches
