First, you must understand the question. what % of 60 is 15, so I would write an equation to express this.
15 = 60x
From there, solve for x, so Divide by 60 on each side. The answer is 1/4, or 25%
F: R -> R, f(x) = ax + b;
f(1) = 8 => a + b = 8;
f(2) = 14 => 2a + b = 14 => a = 6 and b =2;
f(3) = 20 => 6*3 + 2 = 20 True;
f(4) = 26 => 4*6 + 2 = 26 True;
then, f:R -> R, f(x) = 6x + 2;
For the first one, we add 2.7 to both sides to get x≥13. Next, we divide both sides by -0.84 to get x≥ 168/-0.84. SInce we multiplied or divided by a negative number, we switch the sign around and end up with x≥200
Answer:
I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of straw - L
Length of piece 1 - x
Length of piece 2 - y
Length of piece 3 - z
What's given and the answer to (i)
y = x - 3
z = 2x
(ii) L = x + y + z = x + x - 3 + 2x
L = 4x-3
(iii) x = (21+3)/4 = 24/4
leaving you to calculate x
then substitute x into expressions for y & z above and you will have the answer
