PLEASE HELP :) THANKS There is a sales tax of $6 on an item that costs $64 before tax. The sales tax on a second item is 8.25. How much does the second item cost before tax?

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it

1) the property is   ixi = a ⇔x = a   o x = -a

4(x-5)+3= 15⇒4x-20+3 = 15⇒4x-17= 15⇒4x = 15+17⇒4x = 32⇒x =32/4= 8

4(x-5) +3= -15⇒4x-20 +3 = -15⇒4x-17= -15⇒4x =-15+17⇒4x = 2⇒x =2/4= 1/2

the values are x =8 and x = 0,5
