Use this equation to solve the problem:
x - (x * .25) = 40
This equation is saying the original price times itself by 25% is 40.
x - (x * .25) = 40
Simplify.
x - .25x = 40
.75x = 40
Divide both sides by .75.
x = 53.33
The original price was $53.33
Answer:
What's the problem?
Step-by-step explanation:
No picture or you don't say anything.
Answer:
f(x)=2000-8x
Step-by-step explanation:
2000 is initial amount that gets subtracted
8x is the amount of gallons being siphoned out, where x is t, or minutes.
Angle ADB is a right angle, which is given.
The measure of ADB is 90 degrees by definition of right angle.
The two angles are a linear pair (aka they're supplementary) by definition of linear pair (they're formed by two intersecting lines).
The measure of BDC is 90 because BDC + ADB = 180 (definition of linear pair), and ADB = 90 (given).
BDC = ADB because 90 = 90
Overall, the two triangles are congruent by SAS.
