WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME? 1. In Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6%. Suppose that an item costs $50.88 including tax. How can we use algebra to find the price of the item before tax was added? What is the price before tax? Note: Using x = the price before tax, write an equation, and show solving steps to find x. (SOLVE AND CHECK) ($47.83 WON'T BE THE CORRECT ANSWER)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $48

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that in Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6% and that an item costs $50.88 including tax.

Let the cost of the item before tax be x. This means that x plus 6% of x equals to $50.88. This can be mathematically expressed as:

x + (6% of x) = $50.88

x + (6/100 × x) = $50.88

x + (0.06 × x) = $50.88

x + 0.06x = $50.88

1.06x = $50.88

When then divide by the coefficient of x

1.06x/1.06 = #50.88/1.06

x = $48

The price before the tax is $48

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation we must break it down. This question is going to require the Pythagorean theorem [tex]a^{2} +b^{2}=c^{2}[/tex]. To use this we need a right triangle which happens to be half of the triangle shown. Now we can plug in the numbers.

[tex]7^{2}+\frac{1}{2} x^{2} =\sqrt{74}^{2}[/tex]

[tex]49+\frac{1}{2} x^{2} =74[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} x^{2} =25[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} x=5[/tex]

[tex]x=10[/tex]

This ends in x equaling 10. I hope this helps you!

-Simplify [tex]2^{2}[/tex] :

[tex](2^{2} \cdot 3^{-1} \cdot 4^{-1})^{-1} \over 2^{-3} \cdot 3^{4}[/tex]

[tex](4 \times 3^{-1} \times 4^{-1})^{-1} \over 2^{-3} \times 3^{4}[/tex]

-Simplify [tex]3^{-1}[/tex] :

[tex](4 \times 3^{-1} \times 4^{-1})^{-1} \over 2^{-3} \times 3^{4}[/tex]

[tex](4 \times( \frac{1}{3}) \times 4^{-1})^{-1} \over 2^{-3} \times 3^{4}[/tex]

-Multiply both [tex]4[/tex] and [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] :

[tex](4 \times( \frac{1}{3}) \times 4^{-1})^{-1} \over 2^{-3} \times 3^{4}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{4}{3} \times 4^{-1})^{-1} \over 2^{-3} \times 3^{4}[/tex]

-Simplify [tex]4^{-1}[/tex] :

[tex]3 \over 2^{-3} \times 3^{4}[/tex]

-Then, on the denominator,  simplify [tex]2^{-3}[/tex] :

[tex]3 \over \frac{1}{8} \times 3^{4}[/tex]

Simplify [tex]3^{4}[/tex] :

[tex]3 \over \frac{1}{8} \times 81[/tex]

[tex]3 \over \frac{81}{8}[/tex]

Answer:

1. -2

2. 18

3. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the following explanations "x" is a variable which represents "a number" given in the problems.

1. You can set up a simple equation " x + 7 = 5 " because you are increasing a number to get the answer. From there you can subtract 5-7 and you'll get -2, the answer to the first one.

2. This time the number is decreased by 6, and the answer is 12. Since it's being decreased, you'll set up the equation like this: " x - 6 = 12 ". For this problem you can do 12 + 6 = 18, which is your answer.

3. A number "added" to -3 is -5. The number following 'is' will almost always be the answer you're looking for, so we can do x + (-3) = -5 . From there just add 3 to each side, and you'll get -2 + (-3) = -5.

If you take one thing away from this, let it be the following:

The methods that I used do work, but something I'd suggest trying in the future is carrying over the same number to the other side of the equation.

If you're struggling on these problems, this might help.

The way this works is simple, lets say you have this equation:

x + 5 = 10

The best and most efficient way of solving this problem is by taking a number from one side, and moving it to the other side. It seems confusing at first, but isn't all that hard once you figure it out. So for this problem:

x + 5 = 10

   - 5   -5

Now you only have 'x' on the left side of the equation. This is the end goal. Once you get x on one side of the equation, the answer tends to be on the other side.

So:

x + 5 = 10

   - 5   -5

x + 0 = 5      <- this is what you want.

x = 5

Answer:

B) Rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

The only difference between functions f(x) and g(x) is the slope. To get from f(x)=4x+1 to g(x)=2x+1, you would need to rotate slightly clockwise about point (0,1) - the y-intercept. This would make the graph less steep (2x is less steep than 4x) while still retaining the (0,1) y intercept.

The diagram shows a cuboid.

The height of the cuboid is 6 cm.
The volume of the cuboid is 90 cm.
What is the area of the shaded face?

Answers

Answer:

length x width x 6 = 90

area of shaded face = 15

The area of the shaded region is 15 square cm.

What is area?

The space occupied by a flat shape or the surface of an object is called area.

Formula for the area of rectangle

[tex]Area = lb[/tex]

Where,

l is the length of the rectangle.

b is the breadth of the rectangle.

What is volume?

A volume is simply defined as the amount of space occupied by any three-dimensional solid.

Formula for volume of cuboid

volume = length × breadth × height

According to the given question.

We have,

Height of the cuboid  = 6cm

Volume of the cuboid = 90 cubic cm.

⇒ length × breadth × height = 90

⇒ length × breadth × 6 = 90

⇒ length × breadth = [tex]\frac{90cm^{2} }{6cm}[/tex]

⇒ length × breadth = 15 square cm....(i)

Since, the area of shaded region = length × breadth

From (i)

Length × breadth = 15 square cm .

Hence, the area of the shaded region is 15 square cm.

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Let the numbers be x, y, and z.

The sum of three numbers is 10.

x + y + z = 10   …1

The first number minus the second plus the third is 6.

x – y + z = 6   …2

The first minus the third is 2 more than the second.

x – y = z + 2   …3

Add equation 1 and 3, we have

x + x + z = 10 + z + 2

         2x = 12

           x = 6

Subtract equation 2 from 1, we have

2y = 4
