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

When dividing with polynomials, the goal is to determine how many times the dividend divides evenly into the?
kkurt [141]
Whether dividing constant terms or polynomials, we always have definitive terms when it comes to division. Suppose we say, 10x divided by 2. The dividend is the 10x and the divisor is the 2. In other words, the dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor, to obtain the answer called the quotient.

When dividing polynomials, your main goal is to be able to divide the dividend evenly into the <em>divisor</em>. For example, we divide x²+2x+1 by x+1. The first thing you're going to focus is, what term will completely divide the first term of the polynomial? That would be x. Why? Because when you multiply x with x+1, the product is x²+x. When you subtract this from the polynomial, the x² will cancel out. All you have to do is subtract x from 2x, yielding x. Then, you carry down the last term of the equation: +1. You do the steps again. The term that will completely divide x+1 by x+1 is 1. When you subtract the two, you will come up with zero. That means there is no remainder. The polynomial is divisible by the divisor. 
                          x + 1
                        ------------------------------------
                  x+1| x²+2x+1
                        - x²+x
                         ----------------------
                                 x +1
                               - x +

The diagram shows a scale drawing of a playground. In the scale drawing the playground has a length of 16 cm and a width of 8 cm
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

3 m : 4 cm, 3 m/4 cm, 3 m to 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual playground will have an area of 72 m², and have one side be double the other, because the scale drawing does so too.

We can make a system of equations: l * w = 72, l = 2w

Substitute: 2w * w = 72

Simplify: 2 * w² = 72

Divide: w² = 36

Square root: <em>w = 6 m</em> (no negatives due to distances always > 0)

Substitute: l = 2 * 6 m

Simplify: <em>l = 12 m</em>

This means that the relations of one side is <em>6 m : 8 cm</em>. That can be simplified to 3 m : 4 cm.

Lisa is 10 centimeters taller than her friend Ian. Ian is 14 centimeters taller than Jim. Every month, their heights increase by
bekas [8.4K]
Let Lisa's height be x, Ian's be y and Jim's be z
x = 10 + y . . . (1)
y = 14 + z . . . (2)
y + 14 + z + 14 = 170 + x + 14
y + z - x = 170 + 14 - 28 = 156 . . . (3)
From (2), z = y - 14 . . . (4)
Putting (1) and (4) into (3) gives,
y + y - 14 - 10 - y = 156
y = 156 + 24 = 180

Therefore, Ian's height is 180 centimeters

Using approximations to 1 significant figure check that your answer to part a makes sense
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A significant figure is the first digit in a number that isn't zero. You round to this.

Step-by-step explanation:

E.g. 1959302 to 1 Sig Fig = 2000000

You round to the first figure that isn't zero, which is one

E.g 0.000001373 to 1 Sig Fig = 0.000001 because that 1 is the first digit that isn't zero
