Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of comic books is 75.

Original price of each comic book is 4$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tayla Purchased A Large Box Of Comic Books For $300. She Gave 15 Of The Comic Books To Her Brother And
Answer 2

There were 75 comics in the box originally.

What is an equation?

An equation is the statement of equality between two expressions consisting of variables and/or numbers.

Given that, Tayla purchased a large box of comic books for $300. She gave 15 of the comic books to her brother and then sold the rest on an internet website for $330, making a profit of $1.50 on each one.

Let x be the number of comics originally

(x - 15) is the number of comics sold.

Original price of each comic = 300/x

Price of comics which she gave to brother = 15*300/x

Original price of all the books that has been sold  = 300 - 15*300/x

Tayla's profit = 330 - (300 - 15*300/x) = 30 + 15*300/x

Number of comics sold = (30 + 15*300/x)/1.5

Equation will be,

(30 + 15*300/x)/1.5 = x - 15

20 + 3000/x = x - 15

(x² - 15x - 3000)/x = 20

x² - 35x - 3000 = 0

On factorizing the quadratic equation, we get,

x = 75 or -40 (Neglecting -40, because number of books can't be negative)

Hence, there were 75 comic books in the box originally.

Given ∠A and ∠B are supplementary. The measure
of ∠B is three times the measure of ∠A. Find m∠B.

Answers

Answer:

x1=15, x2=10, angle A=45, angle B=135

Step-by-step explanation:

1st pic: since ray BD bisects angle ABC, 2x=x+15, subtract x from both sides to get x=15

2nd pic: using the same logic as above, x=4x-30. add 30 and subtract x from both sides to get 3x=30, divide by 3 to get x=10

since angle A and angle B are supplementary, A+B=180, since B=3A, we have A+3A=180, or 4A=180. divide to get A=45. since B=3A, B=3*45=135

maria has $100 dollars to spend. she wants to buy a sweater for $30 and a pair of jeans for $42. she would like to spend the rest of her money on t-shirts that cost $4 each. how many can she buy?

Answers

Answer:

7 T-Shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

100 Dollar

30 = sweater

42 = Jeans

4 each = t-shirts

Solution:

30+42 = 72

100-72 = 28

28/4=7

Therefore she can buy 7 T-Shirts.

Answer:

7 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

100 (total) - 30 (sweater) - 42 (jeans) = 28 (for shirts)

28 (money) / 4 (shirt cost) = 7 (shirts)

Assuming no tax and stuff, Maria should be able to by 7 shirts on top of her other items.

there is a triangle angle 1 is 9x - 8, angle to x + 10, and angle 3x + 2

Answers

Answer:

See answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the measure of each angle.

The sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°

(9x - 8) + (x + 10) + (3x + 2) =  180°

13x + 4 = 180

13x = 180 - 4

13x = 176

x = 176/13

Angle 1 = 9x - 8                     Angle 2 = x + 10                  Angle 3 = 3x +2

             = 9(176/13) - 8                        = 176/13 + 10                        = 3(176/13) + 2

             ≈ 113.8°                                   ≈   23.5°                               ≈ 42.6°

Malachi is shopping for toothbrushes. He can buy a package of 2 for $3.48 or a package of 4 for $6.60. Which is a better buy?
Group of answer choices

The package of 4 is a better buy.

The package of 2 is a better buy.

They are the same.

Answers

Well if we multiply 3.48 times two which would make 4 toothbrushes it would be 6.96. So this means if we wanted a better deal on more toothbrushes. The answer would be the package of 4
3.48x2= 6.96. Therefore if you bought the pack of 4 toothbrushes it would be a better deal bc you can get the same amount of toothbrushes for less since the 4 pack is 6.60 =)

find equation of a line containing (3,-4) and having a slope of -2. if this line contains the points(a, 8) and (5,b) find a and b

i will give brainlest for the best answers with best explanation ​

Answers

Answer:

a = - 3, b = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2 , then

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 4 ) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 6 = 2

y = - 2x + 2 ← equation of line

------------------------------------------------------------------

Substitute (a, 8 ) into the equation and solve for a

8 = - 2a + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

6 = - 2a ( divide both sides by - 2 )

- 3 = a

Substitute (5, b ) into the equation and solve for b

b = - 2(5) + 2 = - 10 + 2 = - 8

In which quadrant is the number –14 – 5i located on the complex plane? I II III IV

Answers

Answer:

III

Step-by-step explanation:

go 14 left and 5 down, and you're in the third quadrant

Answer:

III (Third quadrant)

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, in terms of complex numbers, the x axis is the imaginary scale while the y axis is the real scale. And this works just like a normal x and y axis! We can break down -14-5i into -5i and -14, and -5i is the imaginary number on the x axis, so we move five units to the left from the origin. -14 is the real number, so we then move down 14 units, and we end up with a coordinate that is in the III, or third, quadrant.  Hope this helps! :)

Now we proceed to present the graphs of the polygon and its image with the help of a graphing tool. The original polygon is highlighted in red and the image is highlighted in blue.

Where:

[tex]O(x,y)[/tex] - Center of dilation.[tex]k[/tex] - Dilation factor.[tex]P(x,y)[/tex] - Original point of the polygon.[tex]P'(x,y)[/tex] - Dilated point of the polygon.
