Answer:
WX = 33
(x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you WX is a midline, so has the measure of the average of the two bases.
WX = (PQ +SR)/2 = (27 +39)/2 = 66/2
WX = 33
__
The hash marks also tell you ...
PW = WS
y +4x = 18 . . . . . . substitute the given expressions
and also
QX = XR
2y +x = 22 . . . . . substitute the given expressions
__
If you solve the first equation for y, you get ...
y = 18 -4x
Substituting that into the second equation gives ...
2(18-4x) +x = 22
36 -7x = 22 . . . . . . . simplify
14 = 7x . . . . . . . . . . . add 7x-22 to both sides
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
y = 18 -4(2) = 10 . . . find y using the above relation
The values of x and y are 2 and 10, respectively.

My favorite "quick and dirty" way to solve a set of linear equations is using a graphing calculator. It works well for integer solutions.
So according to the problem, the tax should be calculated using the bill.
So 5.5% equals to 0.055.
Then multiply 0.055 and 74.98.
Thus resulting in 4.1239 and when rounded, the answer should be 4.12, C
Answer:
The CONVERSE of p → q is q → p will be written as
i.e If 3x -4 = 20, then 2x = 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
p: 2x = 16
(one statement)
q: 3x – 4 = 20
(another statement)
The given statement is p → q can be written as
i.e IF 2x = 16, then 3x – 4 = 20
The CONVERSE of p → q is q → p will be written as
i.e If 3x -4 = 20, then 2x = 16.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(x² logₓ27) log₉x = x + 4
Use change of base formula.
x² (log 27 / log x) (log x / log 9) = x + 4
Simplify.
x² (log 27 / log 9) = x + 4
x² (log 3³ / log 3²) = x + 4
x² (3 log 3 / (2 log 3)) = x + 4
x² (3 / 2) = x + 4
3x² = 2x + 8
3x² − 2x − 8 = 0
(x − 2) (3x + 4) = 0
x = 2 or -4/3
Since x > 0, x = 2.
