Answer:
First city: $5,500
Second city: $5,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define x as the hotel price in the first city and y the hotel price in the second city. We can start with this equation:
y = x - 500 (The hotel before tax in the 2nd city was $500 lower than in the 1st.)
Then we can say
0.065x + 0.045y = 582.50 (the sum of the tax amounts were $582.50)
We place the value of y from the first equation in the second equation:
0.065x + 0.045 (x - 500) = 582.50
0.065x + 0.045x - 22.50 = 582.50 (simplifying and adding 22.5 on each side)...
0.11x = 605
x = 5,500
The cost of the first hotel was $5,500
Thus, the cost of the second hotel was $5,000 (x - 500)
Answer:
x = 65, y = 63
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ EGA = ∠ HBG = 52° ( corresponding angles )
ED is a straight angle, thus
52 + y + 65 = 180, that is
y + 117 = 180 ( subtract 117 from both sides )
y = 63
-------------------------------------
∠ HGB = y = 63° ( vertical angles )
The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, thus
x + 63 + 52 = 180
x + 115 = 180 ( subtract 115 from both sides )
x = 65
Answer:
y= 3/5x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The value is 333
<h3>How to determine the function</h3>
From the information given, we have:
- x = - 8
- 1/3*h(x) = x^2-5x+7
Now, let's substitute the value of 'x' in the function:
1/3*h(x) = x^2-5x+7
1/ 3 × h(-8) = ( - 8)² - 5 ( -8) + 7
Make 'h ( -8)' the subject of formula
h ( -8) = 
h ( -8) = 
Take the sum of the numerator
h ( -8) = 
Take the inverse of the denominator and multiply
h ( -8) = 111 × 3/ 1
h ( -8) = 333
We can see that through the substitute of the value of x as - 8, we get 333
Thus, the value is 333
