Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the original price of the gift

(10% of x) is the value of the discount

(10% of x) = 10/100 . x = 0.1 x

0.1 x    is the value of the discount

x - (10% of x) is what was paid, after the discount

x - 0.1 x = 0.9 x

0.9 x    is what was paid

4 children paid $9/each

4 times $9 = $36

$36 is the total amount that was paid by the children

$36 = 0.9 x

$36 / 0.9 = x

x = $36 / 0.9 = 360 / 9

x = 40

Slope= 1/2
Y intercept= (0,2)

Explanation:
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
-2x+4y=8
-8-2x=-4y
Divide by -4
2+1/2x=y

Y=1/2x+2

F(x)=lx+4l+3 how do u do it
dybincka [34]

Answer:

implifying

f(x) = lx + 4l + -3

Multiply f * x

fx = lx + 4l + -3

Reorder the terms:

fx = -3 + 4l + lx

Solving

fx = -3 + 4l + lx

Solving for variable 'f'.

Move all terms containing f to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by 'x'.

f = -3x-1 + 4lx-1 + l

Simplifying

f = -3x-1 + 4lx-1 + l

Reorder the terms:

f = l + 4lx-1 + -3x-1
