Answer:

so the price for 1 mug was $7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

initial price will be  P

Then the lower price is

x - 1.75

If 5 mugs cost $28.20 then we have to write an equation in order to find the price for 1 mug.

(P - 1.75)*5 = 28.20

P - 1.75 = 28.20/5

P - 1.75 = 5.64

P = 1.75 + 5.64

P = 7.39

Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39

Hope that helps... :)

Answer:

  • $7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price be x

<u>Then the reduced price is </u>

  • x - 1.75

<u>If 5 mugs cost $28.20, we have equation:</u>

  • (x - 1.75)*5 = 28.20
  • x - 1.75 = 28.20/5
  • x - 1.75 = 5.64
  • x = 1.75 + 5.64
  • x = 7.39

Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39

write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=-5/3x-2 and goes throught the point (-3,1)
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

y = (-5/3)x - 4

Explanation:

The equation of a line with slope m that goes through the point (x1, y1) is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)_{}

Additionally, two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

The slope of the line y = (-5/3)x - 2 is (-5/3) because it is the number beside x.

So, the slope of our line is also -5/3.

Therefore, replacing m by -5/3 and (x1, y1) by (-3, 1), we get that the equation of the line is:

\begin{gathered} y-1=-\frac{5}{3}(x-(-3)) \\ y-1=-\frac{5}{3}(x+3) \end{gathered}

Finally, solving for y, we get:

\begin{gathered} y-1=-\frac{5}{3}x-(\frac{5}{3}\cdot3) \\ y-1=-\frac{5}{3}x-5 \\ y=-\frac{5}{3}x-5+1 \\ y=-\frac{5}{3}x-4 \end{gathered}

So, the answer is:

y = (-5/3)x - 4

The length of one side of a square city block is 462 meters. what is the perimeter of the block
trapecia [35]
The perimeter of any shape is just what you get when you add up all of the side lengths. We know that one side is 462 meters, and since a square has four equal sides, we can just mulitply 462 × 4 to get our perimeter, 1,848 meters.
