Answer:

$R = \$903.125$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Selling\ Price = \$289$

$Rate = 32\%$

Required

Determine the regular price (R)

From the question, we understand that:

$R * 32\% = \$289$

So, we have:

$R * 0.32 = \$289$

$R = \frac{\$289}{0.32}$

$R = \$903.125$

Hence, the regular price is $903.125

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-1,2) with a slope of 4

Iteru [2.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

The points is; (-1 , 2) and slope is 4.

Note: Use one-point formula.

$(y - y1) = m(x - x1)$

~ Put all values.

$(y - 2) = 4(x + 1)$

~ Simplify it.

$(y - 2) = 4x + 4$

$4x - y + 6 = 0$

Therefore, the required equation is; 4x-y+6=0.

What is the solution of -8/2y-8=5/y+4 - 7y+8/y^2-16

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$Domain:\\\\2y-8\neq0\ \wedge\ y+4\neq0\ \wedge\ y^2-16\neq0\\\\2y\neq8\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y^2\neq16\\\\y\neq4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq\pm\sqrt{16}\\\\y\neq4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq4\\\\\boxed{y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq4}\\\\===========================$

$\dfrac{-8}{2y-8}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16}\\\\\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-4^2}\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{8}{y-4}=-\dfrac{10}{y+4}+\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{10}{y+4}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\dfrac{8}{y-4}+\dfrac{10}{y+4}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}$

$\dfrac{8(y+4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}+\dfrac{10(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\\\\\dfrac{8(y+4)+10(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\\dfrac{8y+32+10y-40}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\\dfrac{(8y+10y)+(32-40)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\\\\\dfrac{18y-8}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\iff18y-8=14y+16\\\\18y-8=14y+16\qquad\text{subtract 14y from both sides}$
