Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
So, I would set this up as a proportion-
72 x
90 100
Cross multiply-
100 x 72 = 7200
Divide-
7200/90 = 80
Subtract-
100 - 80 = 20
So, it is a 20% decrease
Answer:
x ≈ 16.52
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the tangent ratio in the right triangle to find x
tan36° = 
= 
Multiply both sides by x
x × tan36° = 12 ( divide both sides by tan36° )
x = 12 / tan36° ≈ 16.52 ( to 2 dec. places )

<span>Simplifying
3x + 10 = 5x + 22
Reorder the terms:
10 + 3x = 5x + 22
Reorder the terms:
10 + 3x = 22 + 5x
Solving
10 + 3x = 22 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
10 + 3x + -5x = 22 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x
10 + -2x = 22 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
10 + -2x = 22 + 0
10 + -2x = 22
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -2x = 22 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -2x = 22 + -10
-2x = 22 + -10
Combine like terms: 22 + -10 = 12
-2x = 12
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -6
Simplifying
x = -6</span>
