Jade buys a blouse and a skirt for 3/4 of their original price. Jade pays a total of $31.50 for the two items. If the original price of the blouse is $18, what is the original price of the skirt?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The skirt was originally 24 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 ( b+s) = 31.50  

where b is the original price of the blouse and s is the original price of the skirt

b = 18

3/4 ( 18+s) = 31.50  

Multiply each side by 4/3

4/3 * 3/4 ( 18+s) = 31.50  *4/3

18+s =42

Subtract 18 from each side

18+s-18 = 42-18

s =24

The skirt was originally 24 dollars

3x^2-11x-6=0

Answers

Answer:

x = -0.62 and x = 4.29

These values are approximations !

Step-by-step explanation:

You can not use Factoring to solve this equation. Perhaps you did not use the exact notation as in the original question?

Anyway, to solve it, you can still use the ABC formula.

3x²-11x-6=0

a = 3

b =-11

c = -6

x = [11 + √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3

x = [11 + √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6

x = [11 + √{121 + 96} ]/ 6

x = [11 + √{217} ]/ 6

x = 4.29 This is an approximation !

x = [11 - √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3

x = [11 - √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6

x = [11 - √{121 + 96} ]/ 6

x = [11 - √{217} ]/ 6

x = -0.62 This is an approximation !

!!WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! Write in slope-intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the given points.

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (2-1)/(8-4)

    = 1/4

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1/4x +b

Substitute a point into the equation

1 = 1/4(4) +b

1 = 1+b

b= 0

y = 1/4x

solve the system of simultaneos equations using substitution method. 2/x-3/x=1 equation one 1/x-2/y= 2. equation two​

Answers

Answer:

First solve the first one

2/x -3/x = 1

Multiply through by x

2/x×x -3/x×x = x

You will get

2 - 3 = x

x = - 1

Substitute x into the second Equation

1/x - 2/y = 2

x = 1

1/1 -2/y = 2

-2/y = 2-1

-2/y = 1

y = -2

Therefore x = - 1 and y = - 2

help pls!

Answers

I think it’s 1/12 exactly you have a one in 12 chances of rolling a 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will happen.

When dealing with probability, the outcomes of a process are the possible results. For example, when a die is rolled, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In mathematical language, an event is a set of outcomes, which describe what outcomes correspond to the "event" happening. For instance, "rolling an even number" is an event that corresponds to the set of outcomes {2, 4, 6}. The probability of an event, like rolling an even number, is the number of outcomes that constitute the event divided by the total number of possible outcomes. We call the outcomes in an event its "favorable outcomes".

Answers

Answer:

C. Both f(x) and its inverse function intersect at point (2, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let's begin defining f(x) = y.

Since the linear function f(x) intersects at

• 6 on the y-axis; and

• 3 on the x-axis;

we can deduce the following equation:

6x + 3y = 6(3)

6x + 3y = 18

3y = -6x + 18

y = -6x/3 + 18/3

y = -2x + 6

f(x) = -2x + 6

Then, we'd want to find the inverse of f(x), which is f`¹(x).

f(x) = -2x + 6

y = -2x + 6

Interchange the variable y to x and vice versa.

x = -2y + 6

2y = -x + 6

y = (-1/2)x + 3

f`¹(x) = (-1/2)x + 3

Since both f(x) and its inverse function are equal to y, set them both as equal.

f(x) = f`¹(x)

-2x + 6 = (-1/2)x + 3

-2x + (1/2)x = 3 - 6

(-3/2)x = -3

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into y = -2x + 6.

y = -2(2) + 6

y = -4 + 6

y = 2

Now that we know x = 2 and y = 2, then the intersection point of (x, y) must be (2, 2).

HELP ME OUT! A student dissolves 1 gram of sugar in 10 grams of water. She then determines the mass of the solution. What is the mass of the dissolved sugar and water?

Answers

Answer:

The mass of the dissolved sugar and water is 11 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a substance is dissolved in another, they are mixed together forming a new one, therefore the new substance's mass must be the same as the sum of the individual mass of each substance mixed, because there are no leaks. In this case, there are two substances being mixed, the water which have a mass of 10 grams and the sugar which have a mass of 1 gram, therefore the final solution's mass must be equal to 11 g.

The list price of an item is $ 93.45. The supplier is offering a series trade discount of 7/23. Find the net cost.

Answers

Answer: $66.92

Step-by-step explanation:

We can get the final price by calculating the first discount and then subtracting this from the original price to get the amount to which the second discount is applied. We can then determine the final price by subtracting the second discount from the intermediate price.The percent of the first discount is 7.

The price after the first discount is $93.45−($93.45×0.07)=$86.91.

The price to which the second discount is applied is $86.91.

The second discount is 23%

86.91 x 0.23 = $19.99

The final price is (86.91 - 19.99) = 66.92
