If you would like to know the value of the 2.9% tax, you can calculate this using the following steps:
2.9% tax of $46 shoes = 2.9% * 46 = 2.9/100 * 46 = $1.334
If you would like to know what is the whole price you have to pay for the shoes (including the tax), you have to add $46 and $1.334:
$46 + $1.334 = $47.334
> multiply the second equation by 2 and add it to the first equation.
2(-6x - 7y = -10)
-12x -14y = -20
8x + 14y = 4
-12x - 14y = -20
--------------------
- 4x + 0 = - 16
x = -16/-4
x = 4
> use x = 4 in either equation to find y
8(4) + 14y = 4
32 + 14y = 4
14y = 4 - 32
14y = -28
y = -28/14
y = -2
Answer: a) 62.591 lb b) 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=8
Explanation:
The picture tells us that the triangle is equilateral (this means that each angle is 60°). We can assume this because each side has been marked with the same line.
Because each angle is equal to 60°, this means that:
7x+4=60
Now solve for x:
7x=56
x=8
