Decrease = (original number - new number) / original number .....x 100
decrease = (49 - 22) / 49.....* 100 =
(27 / 49) * 100 =
2700 / 49 = 55% decrease
Answer:
c=26
Step-by-step explanation:
So you would use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2
10^2+24^2=c^2
100+576=c^2
C^2=676
c=26
The missing number would be 4/6, or 2/3.
The missing number can be found by finding the absolute distance in between the numbers, dividing it and then adding it to the smaller number.
(5/6-3/6)/2=(2/6)/2=1/6
3/6+1/6=4/6 or 2/3
First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation.
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation:
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for.
Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.
