If you are asking for what the tax is then you take x over 140.88 and 7 over 100 and you cross multiply to get 100x and 986.16 then you divide 100x and 986.16 both by 100 so you get x = 9.8616 but sense .0016 are not cents you round that and get $9.86 as your Tax price and the total amount you would end up paying would be 9.86 + 140.88 which is 150.74 so you would end up paying $150.74 all together but the Tax of 7% is 9.86 for this problem Hope this helped

What is the factored form of the binomial expansion 125x^3 + 525x^2 + 735x + 343?
yarga [219]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. regroup terms

125x^3+343+525x^2+735x

2. Rewrite 125x^3 as  (5x)^3 and 343 as 7^3

(5x)^3+7^3+525x^2+735x

3. Since both terms are perfect cubes, factor using the sum of cubes formula, a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2), where a=5x and b=7

(5x+7)((5x)^2-(7)(5x)+(7)^2)+525x^2+735x

(5x+7)(25x^2-35x+49)+525x^2+735x

4. Factor 105x out of 525x^2+735x

(5x+7)(25x^2-35x+49)+105x(5x+7)

5. Regroup

(5x+7)(25x^2-35x+49+105x)

(5x+7)(25x^2+70x+49)

6. Factor again

(5x+7)(5x+7)^2

(5x+7)^3

What is the quotient? Negative StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction divided by negative one-fourth WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Im not too sure given yopur formatting, but I believe you meant this: -((3/8)/(-1/4))

therfore, the answer is: 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can seperate the two fractions as 3/8 divided by -1/4, which is equal to 3/8 * 4/-1, simply multiply across to get 12/-8, which simplifies to -3/2. Flip the sign to get 3/2

"I have a 35% off coupon that I would like to apply to my purchase today. How much will the coupon save me?" Employee: "It looks
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$43.75

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have: 35% discount

Total without discount: $125.00

Amount discounted: ?

So you have to make 35% into a number that you can multiply with $125. When you have a percentage you move the decimal two times to the front so you have 0.35 then you multiply;

125 x 0.35 = 43.75.

43.75 is the amount discounted, so you only have to pay 81.25. The equation for that would look like;

125 - 43.75 = 81.25

Hope that made sense!
