You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427
When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.
To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7
So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%
Area of trapezoid = a + b/2 * h
a = 20, b = 9, h = 21/-16
20+9/2 * (21-16) = 29/2 * 5 = 72.5
The area of the trapezoid = 72.5 in^2
Area of the rectangle = l * w
l = 16, w = 20
16 * 20 = 320
The area of the rectangle: 320 in^2
Answer:
x intercept at (7/3 , 0)
y intercept at (0,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x-7y=21
we need to find x and y intercepts
To find x intercept , plug in 0 for y
9x - 7(0) = 21
9x = 21
divide by 9 on both sides
x= 21/ 9 = 7/3
so x intercept at (7/3 , 0)
To find y intercept , plug in 0 for x
9(0) - 7(y) = 21
-7y = 21
divide by -7 on both sides
y= -3
so y intercept at (0,-3)
