Answer: 7/10
Explanation:
Find the common denominator:
Since 2/5 and 3/10 has a common of denominator of ten, solve.
2/5 + 3/10 = 2/5 * 2/2 = 4/10 + 3/10 = 7/10
Therefore, the sum of 2/5 + 3/10 = 7/10
$21.00
let the original price = 100%
then the discount price = 100 - 15 = 85%
divide $17.85 by 85 to obtain 1% then multiply by 100 to obtain original price.
original price = $17.85 ×
= $21
m∠RSV = 3x + 5, m∠RST = 8x - 14 <em>given</em>
m∠RSV ≅ m∠VST <em>definition of segment bisector</em>
m∠RSV + m∠VST = m∠RST <em>angle addition postulate</em>
(3x + 5) + (3x + 5) = (8x - 14) <em>substitution</em>
6x + 10 = 8x - 14 <em>simplify (added like terms)</em>
10 = 2x - 14 <em>subtraction property of equality</em>
24 = 2x <em>addition property of equality</em>
12 = x <em>division property of equality</em>
Answer: x = 12
