X of 20% = y
x - y = 75
x = total amount
y = discounted amount
x * 20/100 = y
x * 0.2 = y
replace y with 0.2x in other equation
x - y = 75
1x - 0.2x = 75
0.80x = 75
x = 75/.8
x = 93.75
Check:
93.75 * 20/100 = 18.75
93.75 - 18.75 = 75
x = 93.75
y = 18.75
Answer: Total amount without discount is $93.75
//BTW not sure about this, but kind of make sense
Answer:
1 / x^8
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a^b / a^c = a^ (b-c)
x^7 / x^ 15 = x^ (7-15) = x^-8
We also that that a^-b = 1/ a^b
x^-8 = 1 / x^8
It's important that you share the complete question. What is your goal here? Double check to ensure that you have copied the entire problem correctly.
The general equation of a circle is x^2 + y^2 = r^2. Here we know that the circle passes thru two points: (-3,2) and (1,5). Given that a third point on the circle is (-7, ? ), find the y-coordinate of this third point.
Subst. the known values (of the first point) into this equation: (-3)^2 + (2)^2 = r^2. Then 9 + 4 = 13 = r^2.
Let's check this. Assuming that the equation of this specific circle is
x^2 + y^2 = r^2 = 13, the point (1,5) must satisfy it.
(1)^2 + (5)^2 = 13 is not true, unfortunately.
(1)^2 + (5)^2 = 1 + 25 = 26 (very different from 13).
Check the original problem. If it's different from that which you have shared, share the correct version and come back here for further help.
