Answer:

The total cost of the skateboard is 75.58881, rounded, it's $75.59.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the merchandise is discounted by 12%, this means there's a decrease in price.

We need to convert our discount to a decimal, 0.12, and then multiply it by the original price. So,

$79.35 × 0.12 = 9.522

Then we subtract: $79.35 - 9.522 = 69.828

Since we have to pay a sales tax of 8.25%, we need to convert that into a decimal, 0.0825, and then multiply the sales tax by 69.828. So,

69.828 × 0.0825 = 5.76081

Now we add 5.76081 to our price, 69.828, which is 75.58881.  75.58881 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 75.59.

Answer:

1. 15, 16, 17

2. 21, 23, 25

3. 44, 46, 48

4. -4, -3, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Step 1. Writing an equation

Let's set x as the second number in the equation.

This means that the first number is x-1, and the third number is x+1.

We know that the sum of the three numbers is 48, so:

(x-1)+x+(x+1)=48

Step 2. Solving the equation

x-1+x+x+1=48

x+x+x-1+1=48

3x=48

x=16

<em>So the answer is 15, 16, 17</em>

2)

Again, let's set x as the middle number.

Odd numbers are 2 numbers apart, so the first number is x-2, and the third is x+2.

This means that the equation must be:

(x-2)+x+(x+2)=69

x+x+x=69

3x=69

x=23

<em>The numbers are 21, 23, and 25</em>

3)

x will be the middle number

Even numbers are 2 numbers apart, so the first number is x-2, and the third is x+2.

This means that:

x-2+x+x+2=138

x+x+x=138

3x=138

x=46

<em>The numbers are 44, 46, and 48.</em>

4)

x will be the middle number.

x-1=first number, x+1=third number

x-1+x+x+1=-9

3x=-9

x=-3

<em>The numbers are -4, -3, and -2.</em>

Answer: velocity-time graph

Step-by-step explanation: The principle is that the slope of the line on a velocity-time graph reveals useful information about the acceleration of the object. If the acceleration is zero, then the slope is zero (i.e., a horizontal line). If the acceleration is positive, then the slope is positive (i.e., an upward sloping line).
