Answer:

We have the same homework!!!!

hours that passed= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(1st step)We start with the expression:

(1st)82-0.4x=78

"STARTED at 82 degrees" 82

"Cooling DOWN 0.4 degrees" -0.4

"EACH hour" x

"NOW 78 degrees" =78

(2nd step) We want to get the variable x alone, so we have to do the opposite sign they have, to cancel the number out for it to be 0.

(1st) 82 -0.4x =78

(2nd) -82 ÷-0.4 =78

(3rd)Now, you work out the problem (transfer the numbers from the left to the right). First, you have to do the subtraction sign, not sure why.

(1st) 82 -0.4x =78

(2nd) -82 ÷-0.4 =78

(3rd) 78 -82= -4

-4÷-0.4= 10

X= 10

there you have it!

To make sure this is correct, you do the following.

82 -0.4 x 10

Solve using PEMDAS

-0.4 x 10 = -4

its time to add 82.

82 - 4 = 78

78 is the exact temperature that was said in the problem

You would add up the percentages first, which would bring everything up to 35%. You would then take the original cost of the item, which is $30 and multiple it by the 35%. 

The equation would look like...

30 x .35 = 

This will give you $10.50, which isn't the final answer.

You would then subtract 10.50 from the $30 that was asked for at the beginning by the retailer. 

Your final answer is $19.50. :) Which isn't a bad deal if I say so myself.

The ratio of the sides EF/LM after the transformation is 1/8

<h3>Transformation</h3>

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are <em>rotation, translation, reflection and dilation.</em>

Dilation is the increase or decrease in size of a figure by a factor while translation is the movement of a point up, down, left or right.

Given the tansformation:

  • (x,y) → (8x, 8y) → (x - 4, y - 4).
  • This means a dilation of CDEF by 8 and translated 4 units down and 4 units left.

Hence:

LM = 8 * EF

EF/LM = 1/8

The ratio of the sides EF/LM after the transformation is 1/8
