Answer: $134.40

Step-by-step explanation: Just find 80% of 168. That is because 100 - 20 is 80. The question says 20% OFF.

Hi!,
The person who answered above made a mistake and went the wrong way.

Since the pool is already 20% off the price stated is only 80% (100-20=80) of the original price.

So, divide amount by 80.
168/80 = 2.10

Then multiply by 100 to find 100% price
2.10 x 100 = 210

Answer is $210

I am gonna have to go with Latisha's answer.

(x - 3)(x + 4) = x^2 + 4x - 3x - 12 = x^2 + x - 12.......and 4(-3) = -12, -3 + 4 = 1....and the factors are correct

When a number is added to 1/5 of itself, the result is 24. The equation that models this problem is n +1/5 n = 24. What is the v

Lady_Fox [76]

For this case we must find the value of n of the following equation:

$n + \frac {1} {5} n = 24$

Taking common factor "n" from the left side of the equation we have:

$n (1+ \frac {1} {5}) = 24\\n \frac {6} {5} = 24$

Multiplying by 5 on both sides of the equation:

$6n = 120$

Dividing between 6 on both sides of the equation:

$n = 20$

Thus, the value of n is 20.

Answer:

$n = 20$

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

Elza [17]

Answer:

(a) The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

(b) f(x) has a greater y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{cc}x & {f(x)} & -1&-9&0&-1&1&7 \ \end{array}$

$g(x) = 3x - 2$

Solving (a): Compare the slopes

The slope (m) of f(x) is calculated as;

$m = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

This gives:

$m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{0 - 1}$

$m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{- 1}$

Substitute values for f(0) and f(1)

$m = \frac{-1 - 7}{- 1}$

$m = \frac{-8}{- 1}$

$m = 8$

The slope of g(x) can be gotten using the following comparison

$g(x) = mx + b$

$m \to slope$

So:

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$m = 3$

$m_{f(x)} > m_{g(x)}$

Solving (b): Compare the y intercept

y intercept is when $x = 0$

From the table of f(x)

$f(0) = -1$

From the equation of g(x)

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$g(0) = 3*0-2$

$g(0) =-2$

<em></em> $f(0) > g(0)$ <em></em>
