Answer:

$4871.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the dirt bike has been "marked down," so to find the percentage of the original cost, subtract 0.12 from 1 to get 0.88. Then, define x as the original cost, and set up an equation:

0.88x = 4286.70

You know that 4286.70 is 88% of the original cost, so 0.88 times the original cost will equal the marked down cost. Now, divide both sides by 0.88 to get the answer:

x = 4871.25

Find all points having an x-coordinate of 5 whose distance from the point (2, 6) is 5

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

(5,2) and (5,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$points\ (2,6),(5,y)\\d=5$

substitute in the formula

$5=\sqrt{(y-6)^{2}+(5-2)^{2}}$

solve for y

$5=\sqrt{(y-6)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$5=\sqrt{(y-6)^{2}+9}$

square both sides

$25=(y-6)^{2}+9$

$(y-6)^{2}=25-9$

$(y-6)^{2}=16$

square root both sides

$y-6=\pm4$

$y=6\pm4$

$y=6+4=10$

$y=6-4=2$

therefore

The points are

(5,2) and (5,10)
