Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The original selling price of a shirt was $45.

In a sale, the shirt is reduced to $32.50.

To find:

The percentage reduction.

Solution:

We know that,

[tex]\text{Percentage reduction}=\dfrac{\text{Original value - Reduced value}}{\text{Original value}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percentage reduction}=\dfrac{45-32.50}{45}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percentage reduction}=\dfrac{12.50}{45}\times 100[/tex]

On further simplification, we get

[tex]\text{Percentage reduction}=\dfrac{1250}{45}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percentage reduction}=27.777778[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percentage reduction}\approx 27.78[/tex]

Therefore, the percentage reduction is 27.78%.

If TW = VW = 23, TU = y + 24 and UV = 9y, what is the value of y?
w
(please answer and give me the work) i have until 8 AM

Answers

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

TW = VW = 23,

TU = y + 24,

UV = 9y

∆TWU and ∆VWU are congruent by SAS Congruence Theorem.

Therefore:

TU = UV

y + 24 = 9y (substitution)

Subtract y from each side

24 = 9y - y

24 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8

24/8 = 8y/8

3 = y

y = 3

One year after you buy a tree, it is 12 feet tall. Each year after you buy the tree, it grows 4 feet. Write a function that represents the arithmetic sequence. How long does it take for the tree to reach its maximum height of 28 feet?

Answers

Answer:

5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tree grows 4 feet every single year and the second year it was 12 feet tall then that means that when you bought the tree it was 8 feet tall (12-4 = 8). Therefore, using these values we can write an equation to calculate the number of years it will take for the height of the tree to be 28 feet. We do this by multiplying 4ft by the variable of a number of years (x) and then adding that product to 8ft which is the initial height. All of which should add up to 28 ft.

28 ft. = 8 ft. + 4x    ... subtract both sides by 8

20 ft. = 4x   ... divide both sides by 4

5 years = x

Therefore, it will take 5 years from the initial purchase for the tree to be 28ft tall.

Is the point (16,20) on line ℓ?


Answers

Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equation of the line written as, y = kx. The graph shows a proportional relationship between y and x.

Constant of proportionality/unit rate/slope (k) = rise/run = ⁵/4.

Substitute ⁵/4 in y = kx

We would have:

y = ⁵/4x.

Using the equation of the line, we can know if a given point is on the line by plugging the value of x and y coordinates of the point into the equation. If it makes the equation true, then it is a point on the line. If it doesn't make the equation true, then it isn't a point on the line.

Let's plug in (16, 20) into y = ⁵/4x.

Thus substitute x = 16 and y = 20, we have:

[tex] 20 = \frac{5}{4}(16) [/trex]

[tex] 20 = (5)(4) [/trex]

[tex] 20 = 20 [/trex]

It makes the equation true. Therefore, the point, (16, 20) is a point on line l.

HELP

Answers

Answer:

A. 100 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex] m\angle ABC = 3y + 5 [/tex]

[tex] m\angle ADC = 5y - 45 [/tex]

Required:

[tex] m\angle BCD [/tex]

SOLUTION:

✍️First, create an equation that you will use to find the value of y.

[tex] m\angle ABC = m\angle ADC [/tex] (opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent to each other)

[tex] 3y + 5 = 5y - 45 [/tex] (substitution)

Collect like terms

[tex] 3y - 5y = -5 - 45 [/tex]

[tex] -2y = -50 [/tex]

Divide both sides by -2

[tex] y = 25 [/tex]

✍️Next, find [tex] m\angle ABC [/tex] and [tex] m\angle ADC [/tex].

[tex] m\angle ABC = 3y + 5 [/tex]

Plug in the value of y

[tex] m\angle ABC = 3(25) + 5 = 75 + 5 = 80 [/tex]

[tex] m\angle ADC = 5y - 45 [/tex]

Plug in the value of y

[tex] m\angle ADC = 5(25) - 45 = 125 - 45 = 80 [/tex]

✍️Next, find [tex] m\angle BCD [/tex].

[tex] m\angle BCD + m\angle ADC = 180 [/tex] (consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary)

[tex] m\angle BCD + 80 = 180 [/tex] (substitution)

Subtract 80 from each side

[tex] m\angle BCD = 180 - 80 [/tex]

✅[tex] m\angle BCD = 100 [/tex]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{5x}{2} +\frac{7}{2} =\frac{3x}{4} +14\[/tex] isolate the terms with the variable x

[tex]\frac{5x}{2} -\frac{3x}{4} =14-\frac{7}{2}[/tex] get the same denominator and combine like terms

[tex]\frac{10x-3x}{4} = \frac{28-7}{2}[/tex] solve

[tex]\frac{7x}{4} =\frac{21}{2}[/tex] crossmultiply and solve for x

[tex]x=\frac{4*21}{7*2} =6[/tex] so is not the first option

try second

[tex]\frac{5x}{4} -9=\frac{3x}{2} -12[/tex] same steps as before

[tex]\frac{5x-6x}{4}=9-12\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-x}{4} =\frac{-3}{1}[/tex]  so  x=12 not the second option

try third option

[tex]\frac{5x}{4} -2=\frac{3x}{2} -4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5x-6x}{4} =2-4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-x}{4} =\frac{-2}{1}[/tex] so x=8
