Ten times the sum of two and five tenths and thirteen and 5 tenths.
Given:Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes
2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Solutions: 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality)
The cost of a single taco is $3.75
Answer:
The equation of the line that is <em>perpendicular</em> to <em>y = 2x + 2</em> is
<em>y = -1/2x</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The original equation is y = 2x + 2; it's slope is <em>2</em>
Any line perpendicular to this equation would have to have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Example:
y = 2x + 2 so,
the perpendicular line's slope must be -1/2
Write a new equation with the new slope:
y = -1/2x + b
We know that this line passes through (8, -4)
Plug these coordinates in the equation to find b, the y-intercept
-4 = -1/2 (8) + b
-4 = -4 + b
0 = b
b = 0
We do not have to write y = -1/2x + 0
So, our final answer is "y = -1/2x is perpendicular to y = 2x+2"
