Answer:
$17.28
Step-by-step explanation:
20% of $86.40
= × $86.40
= 0.2 × $86.40
= $17.28 ← commission
When solving this equation for x, what would you do next?
1 answer:
Answer: A. Distribute the 3 outside of the parathesis to everything inside the parenthesis
We use the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS.
Since there is a variable inside the parenthesis, we cannot add/subtract 4. This means the next step is to distribute.
After distributing, the equation looks like this and we can solve it from there:
4x + 12 = 30

Answer:
31.243 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationships between sides and angles in a right triangle. Using the attached figure, it is convenient to find the length of BE as an intermediate step in the solution.
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(30°) = BE/100
BE = 100·sin(30°)
Then ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(58°) = BE/x
x = BE/tan(58°) = 100·sin(30°)/tan(58°)
x ≈ 31.243 . . . . units

<em>Comment on the figure</em>
The intermediate problem in creating the figure was to locate point D. That was accomplished by locating point C on a line at an angle of 58° CCW from the horizontal, using point B as a center. Then D is the intersection of BC with the x-axis. BE is drawn perpendicular to the x-axis.
