In linear equation, 15.2% did the total number of students on the honor roll decrease.

What in mathematics is a linear equation?

  • A linear equation is a first-order (linear) term plus a constant in the algebraic form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
  • Sometimes, the aforementioned is referred to as a "linear equation of two variables," where x and y are the variables.

50 × 24% = 12

50 × 14%= 7

12+ 7 = 19

50+75 = 125

19 ÷125= 15.2%

Find the perimeter of the figure to the nearest hundredth.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

60.00 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First focus on the area ABOVE the dotted line.  The shape here is that of a trapezoid.  The two leg lengths are 12 in and 18 in (18 in is the diameter).  At the far right of this trapezoid we can picture a triangle of base 3 in, height h and hypotenuse 5 in.  Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get h = 4 in.

This 4 in measurement is the width of the trapezoid.  Thus, we are now ready to apply the formula for the area of a trapezoid:  A = (average length of legs)*(width).

Here that area comes out to

       12 in + 18 in

A = --------------------- * 4 in = 15 in*4in = 60 in^2, or (to the nearest hundredth)

                 2                                           60.00 in^2

A prize fund is setup with a single investment of £4000 to provide an annual prize of £150. The fund accrues interest at 5% p.A.
Verdich [7]

The invested amount, A=£4000

Rate of interest on this amount, r=5% per annum.

Total interest on the amount £4000 after 1 year

= 5\% \;\text{of} \;\£ 4000=0.05\times \£4000=\£200.

The total amount after 1 year, P=£4000+£200=£4200

Amount remains after an annual prize of £150=£4200-£150=£4050.

Note that after providing the annual prize the amount remains is £4050 which is more than the invested amount of £4000 as the prize money is less than the interest gained.

Now, for the 2nd year, the 5% interest is on the principal amount of £4050, which will have more interest as compared to the interest of 1st year.

Again, after prize distribution, the total amount remains for the principal amount of 3rd year will be more than the principal amount of 2nd year. This sequence repeated every year and the total amount will increase every year.

So, it will never end, the full prize money can be awarded for infinitely many years.

A boat traveled 240 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 12 hours. The trip back took 24 hours. What is the speed
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

rate boat = 15 mph

rate current = 5 mph

explanation:

d = r * t

t = d/r

240 / (r_boat + current) = 12       Multiply both sides by r_boat + r_current.

240 = 12(r_boat + current)

240/ (r_boat - current) = 24       Multiply both sides by r_boat - r_current

240 = 24*(r_boat - current)    

Since the distances are the same in both equations, you can equate the right side of each.

12 (r_boat + current) = 24(r_boat - current)     Divide by 12

r_boat + current  = 2 (r_boat - current)             Remove the brackets.

r_boat  + current = 2*r_boat - 2* current          add 2 currents to both sides

r_boat  + 3currents = 2*r_boat                          Subtract r_boat both sides

3 currents = r_boat.

240 = 12*(r_boat + current.                               Divide by 12

20 = r_boat + current                                        Put 3 currents in for r_boat

20 = 3currents + 1 current                                Combine

20 = 4 currents                                                  Divide by 4

5 = current

The rate of the current = 5 miles / hour

3 currents = r_boat

3*5 = rate_boat

15 = rate of the boat
