To find the percent of the question she got wrong, we have to divide 2 by 40, because she only missed 2.

$\frac{2}{40}=\frac{1}{20}=0.05$ <h2>So, she got wrong 5% of the question only.</h2>

Elena must have substracted 1/2x from both sides of the equation.

Lin must have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2

Explanation

The equation given is

$\frac{1}{2}x+3=\frac{7}{2}x+5$

For Elena to have arrived at

$3=\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}x+5$

Then Elena must have substracted 1/2x from both sides of the equation.

That is;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}x+3=\frac{7}{2}x+5 \\ \text{Substracting }\frac{1}{2}x\text{ from both sides of the equation will give Elena first step} \\ \frac{1}{2}x+3-\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{7}{2}x+5-\frac{1}{2}x \\ 3=\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}x+5 \end{gathered}$

For Lin to have arrived at

$x+6=7x+10$

It shows Lin must have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2

That is;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}x+3=\frac{7}{2}x+5 \\ \text{Multiply both sides of the equation by the lowest common mutiple } \\ \text{of the denominator which is 2.} \\ \frac{1}{2}x(2)+3(2)=\frac{7}{2}x(2)+5(2) \\ x+6=7x+10 \end{gathered}$

A designer enlarged both the length and the width of a rectangular carpet by 60 percent. The new carpet was too large so the des

Snowcat [4.5K]

x= length, y=width

Both the length and width were increased by 60% so now they are:

1.6x and 1.6y

Then they were both reduced by 25% so now they are 75%(100-25) of their previous size so they are:

0.75(1.6x) and 0.75(1.6y)

Their area would be length * width so it would be:

0.75(1.6x) * 0.75(1.6y)

Simplified this would be:

1.2x * 1.2y

Simplified more it would be :

1.44xy which is also 144% of xy which is a 44% increase of the original area (xy)

So the answer is:

44%

Georgia [21]

Answer:

The Given situation is In 2005, the shabelle river in Somalia rose an estimated 5.25 inches every hour for 15 hours.

Increase in water level is represented by the function,f(x)=5.25 x.

or replacing f(x) by y we get ,y= 5.25 x

This is equation of straight line passing through the origin.

As x is number of hours , so x> 0,(0,∞] Which is it's domain.

As x> 0, so Range is those values of y for which x is defined.

$x= \frac{y}{5.25}$ ,So Range is y>0 i.e (0,∞}

As the function has no breaking point , that is when you plot the graph on coordinate axis there is no breaking point.So , it is everywhere continuous i. e for all values of x.
