Solution:

<u>We know the following:</u>

  • A student used a 30% coupon on a jacket
  • The cost was $67.34 after the coupon was used.

<u>Thus, the equation created:</u>

  • 67.34 + 30(Original price)/100 = Original price

Let's represent the original price as x. Then:

  • 67.34 + 30(x)/100 = x

<u>Subtract 30x/100 both sides.</u>

  • 67.34 + 30(x)/100 - 30(x)/100 = x - 30x/100
  • => 67.34 = x - 30x/100

<u>Change x to 100x/100.</u>

  • => 67.34 = 100x/100 - 30x/100

<u>Simplify the RHS:</u>

  • => 67.34 = 70x/100

<u>Use cross multiplication.</u>

  • => 6734 = 70x

<u>Divide 70 both sides.</u>

  • => x = 6734/70 = $96.2 (Original price)

Graph the line with a slope of -3/2 that passes through the point (-1,2)
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

See diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

The line with the slope of -\dfrac{3}{2} has the equation

y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b

This line passes through the point (-1,2), so

2=-\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot (-1)+b\\ \\b=2-1.5\\ \\b=0.5

The line has the equation

y=-1.5x+0.5

This line intersects the y-axis at point (0,0.5) and the y-axis at point (1/3, 0). Plot these points and connect them with the straight line (see attached diagram)

That is the information we know. What we want to do is find out how many scarves for 14 skeins of yarn, like this

4 14
-- = ---
2 ?

To get from 4 to 14, you multiply by 3.5. We must to the same thing to the bottom as well. So we multiply 2 by 3.5, which gives us 7

What value of x will make the triangles similar by the SSS similarity theorem?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: The value of x will make the triangles similar by the SSS similarity theorem is 30

Third option 30


Solution:

The similarity theorem indicates that the sides of similar triangles must be proportional, then:

x/45=x/45=50/75

x/45=50/75

Solving for x: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 45:

45(x/45)=45(50/75)

x=(45)(50)/75

x=2,250/75

x=30
