[tex]\begin{gathered} 96\text{ ------ 100 \%} \\ x\text{ -------- 75 \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]By cross-multiplying these numbers, we have
[tex]\text{ (100\%)}\times x=(96)\times\text{ (75 \%)}[/tex]So, x is given by

The sum of 3 and r is less than 7.What number sentence represents the statement?
The sum of 3 and r can be represented by "3 + r"
If this sum is less than 7, we can use the symbol "lesser than" (<) to compare the sum with the number 7, so our number sentence is:
[tex]3+r<7[/tex]what are the two moves you can use to get the first figure to the second figure (dilation,rotation, reflection,and translation)
ANSWER:
Dilation and translation
EXPLANATION:
Looking at the figures, the two moves used to get the first figure to the second figure is dilation and translation.
The figure was translated 6 units right and 7 units down.
The translation rule that occured here is==> (x+6, y-7)
Also, a dilation with a scale factor of 2 occured here.
Therefore, a dilation and translation occured in order to get the first figure to the second figure.

Hello there. To solve this question, we have to remember some properties about income and taxes.
The following table shows the progressive tax rate for calculating individual income tax:
We want to calculate the state income tax owed on a $50,000 per year salary.
For this, notice this value is contained in the interval 17,001 and up, hence the progressive tax rate for this value is 5.75%.
In this case, the tax is simply given by the product between the value and the rate:
Don't forget to divide the percentage value by 100% before multiplying.
[tex]50000\cdot\dfrac{5.75}{100}=\$2,875[/tex]This is the state income tax owed by one whose salary is $50,000 per year.

7.18° the angle which the road makes with the horizontal.
Define Trigonometric functions
The trigonometric functions are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.
Given,
Height of hill = 250 feet
Length of the slope = 2000 feet
find the angle,
we know, sin(x) = perpendicular / hypotenuse
sin(x) = 250 / 2000
x = sin^-1 (0.125)
x = 7.18°
Hence, 7.18° the angle which the road makes with the horizontal.

To draw a triangle, you cannot take three random line segments, they have to satisfy the triangle inequality theorems.
0. Triangle Inequality Theorem One: the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must add up to more than the length of the third side.
Procedure:
• Evaluating the first values given: (adding the two smallest values)
[tex]5.2+8.2=13.4[/tex]Now, we have to compare this addition with the bigger value. As 13.4 > 12.8, these can be side lengths of a triangle.
• Evaluating the second values given: (adding the two smallest values)
[tex]5+1=6[/tex]Comparing this addition with the bigger value, we can see that 6 < 10, meaning that these values cannot be side lengths of a triangle.
• Evaluating the third values given: (adding the two smallest values)
[tex]3+3=6[/tex]Comparing, we can see that 6 < 15. Therefore, these cannot be side lengths of a triangle.
• Evaluating the final values given:
[tex]7+5=12[/tex]We can see that 12 < 13, so these cannot be side lengths of a triangle.
Answer:
• 12.8, 5.2, 8.2: ,can be side lengths of a triangle.
,• 5, 10, 1: ,cannot be side lengths of a triangle.
,• 3, 3, 15: ,cannot be side lengths of a triangle.

The equation that represents the relationship between x and y in the table is (L.) y = -5x + 3.
What is an Equation in Math?In mathematics, an equation is a relationship between two expressions that are expressed as equality on each side of the equal to sign.
Given in the table is the relationship between x and y respectively.
Substitute the values of x in the respective equations to find the value of y, the resulting value which matches the value of y in the table determines the correct equation.
J. y = -5x -27
⇒ For x = -3, y = -5(-3) - 27 = 15 -27 = -12 ≠ 18
K. y = -5x + 18
⇒ For x = -3, y = -5(-3) + 18 = 15 + 18 = 33 ≠ 18
L. y = -5x + 3
⇒ For x = -3, y = -5(-3) + 3 = 15 + 3 = 18 ≈ 18
For x = -1, y = -5(-1) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
For x = 2, y = -5(2) + 3 = -10 + 3 = -7
For x = 6, y = -5(6) + 3 = -30 + 3 = -27
All the values of x and y in the table satisfy the equation y = -5x + 3. Hence this is the required equation that represents the relationship.

Answer:
B.) 0.08

Explanation:
The cost of the meal before tax = $240
Percentage added as tax = 8%
Therefore, the total cost of the bill after the 8% tax is added to the bill is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 240+8\%\times240 \\ =240+\frac{8}{100}\times240 \\ =240+0.08\times240 \end{gathered}[/tex]If we simplify further, we have:

You have the following expression:
(5x + 7) - (x + 2)
in order to simplify the previous expression, eliminate parenthesis and take into account that if a parenthesis is preceeded by a minus sign, when you elminate th eparenthesis the sign inside change to the opposite, just as follow:
(5x + 7) - (x + 2) =

Identify the postulate illustrated by the statement: Line ST connects pointS and point T
We have two points known to be ( S ) and ( T ). A line connects two points.
The minimum number of points that are required to form a straight line in a cartesian coordinate system are ( two ).
The minimum number of points that are required to form a plane in a cartesian coordinate system are ( three ) which will form two vectors i.e it requires two lines formed with a common point.
Two planes always intersect at exactly one point with direction normal to the two plane normal vectors.
Hence, the only possible postulate that relates two points is the formation of a line between two points; hence, the correct postulate for the given statement is:

What are functions?
A function from X to Y is an assign of each constituent of Y to each variable of X. The set X is known as the function's scope, while the set Y is known as the function's image domain. The notation f: XY denotes a function, its domain, and its codomain, and the value of a function f at an element x of X, indicated by f(x), is known as the image of x under f, or the value of f applied to the argument x. When defining a function, the domains and codomain are not often explicitly specified, and without performing some (complicated) calculation, one may only know that perhaps the domain is included in a larger package.
The functions are
(a) f(x) = 3x+2 and g(x) = |x|
so, H(x) = f(g(x)) = |3x+2|
(b) f(x) = 5x+4 and g(x) = √√√√x

write the equation of the polynomial with the following zeros in standard form
Answer:
x² - (5 + √7)x + 5√7
Explanation:
A polynomial with zeros at x = a and x = b can be written as:
(x - a)(x - b)
So, if the roots are x = √7 and x = 5, we can write the equation for the polynomial as follows:
(x - √7)(x - 5)
Then, to write it in standard form, we need to apply the distributive property, so:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-\sqrt[]{7})(x-5)=x\cdot x+x(-5)-\sqrt[]{7}x-\sqrt[]{7}(-5) \\ (x-\sqrt[]{7})(x-5)=x^2-5x-\sqrt[]{7}x+5\sqrt[]{7} \\ (x-\sqrt[]{7})(x-5)=x^2-(5+\sqrt[]{7})_{}x+5\sqrt[]{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is:

Solve each word problem using a system of equations. Use substitution or elimination. 1. One number added to three times another number is 24. Five times the first number added to three times the other number is 36.
ANSWER
The first number is 3 and the second number is 7
EXPLANATION
Let the first number be x.
Let the second number be y.
The first line of the word problem is:
One number added to three times another number is 24.
This means that:
x + 3(y) = 24
=> x + 3y = 24 ______(1)
The second line of the word problem is:
Five times the first number added to three times the other number is 36.
5(x) + 3(y) = 36
5x + 3y = 36 ______(2)
Now, we have a system of equations:
x + 3y = 24 ____(1)
5x + 3y = 36 ___(2)
From the first equation, we have that:
x = 24 - 3y
Substitute that into the second equation:
5(24 - 3y) + 3y = 36
120 - 15y + 3y = 36
Collect like terms:
-15y + 3y = 36 - 120
-12y = -84
Divide through by -12:
y = -84 / -12
y = 7
Recall that:
x = 24 - 3y
=> x = 24 - 3(7) = 24 - 21
x = 3
Therefore, the first number is 3 and the second number is 7.
