The Jones family paid $253 in August for electricity. The September bill was 21% lower. How much was the September bill?

step-by-step explanation:

hihi so drawing these 2 triangles is fairly simple. all that's left is finding the height of each one. luckily, we have a side length and an angle, so there is a trig function we can use to solve for the height. the easiest one to use would be tangent, since we have 2/3 things needed to find and the third needed is what we are solving for. tan(73°) * 30 ~= 98.13 and tan(73°) * 35 ~= 114.45

the circumference is c≈245.04

x=-2

step-by-step explanation:

i began by flipping the problem to give me x= on the left (keeps it clearer for me).   so my problem simply became 10x-3=4x-6.  

1)   subtract 4x from the right side, which equals 0.   you do the same to the left of the equal as the right; therefore, subtract 4x from 10x, leaving 6x on the left.

              10x-3=4x-6   :   4x-4x on the right leaves only the -6        

2)             6x-3= 0-6 :    

                6x+3=   -6

3) divide
