How do you find the percent of increase from 12 to 18?

1 answer:

4 0

Let's get the data out of the problem:

Nv = 18

Ov = 12

Now, we can apply in this equation that relates the new and the old values:

i = Nv / Ov

i = 18 / 12

i = 1.5

Now, we just consider what has passed from 1, and this is 0.5, converting to percentage it is:

p = 0.5 . 100

p = 50%

The increase was 50%.

Hope it helps.

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 6n-15 . Write an expression to represent the length of each side.

jonny [76]

Answer:we know that all 3 sides are equal

so if side =a

then perimeter =3a

therefore

3a=6n-15

a=6n-15/3

a=2n-5

43/645= I need the to show the work

Licemer1 [7]

I'm guessing you need 43/645 simplified:

First, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator (43) and the denominator (645). To do so, we list all the factors of each number and find the common ones.

Factors of 43: 1, 43
Factors of 645: 1, 3, 5, 15, 43, 129, 215, 645

Out of the listed factors for each number, which numbers are common between the two? The common factors are 1 and 43. Since we are looking for the GREATEST common factor, which number out of 1 and 43 is the greatest? The GCF is 43.

Second, we can now divide the numerator (43) and the denominator (645) by the GCF we recently found which was 43.

$43 \div 43 = 1 \\ 645 \div 43 = 15$

Third, our new simplified fraction is 1/15. We collected our new numerator and denominator.

What is the ratio equivalent to 0.l

NeTakaya

1 / 10 is the easiest answer. Remember ratios are just percentages. It could also be 2/20, 3/30, as long as it is 10%.

What property does the statement show? (4x8)x3=(8x4)x3

Mariana [72]

1. commutative property states that : a + b = b + a

2. 3x - 5 = 5x - 17 -- add 5 to both sides 
3x = 5x - 17 + 5 -- subtract 5x from both sides 
3x - 5x = -17 + 5 -- combine like terms 
-2x = -12 -- divide both sides by -2 
x = 6 

3. slope formula : slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) 
(3,-1) x1 = 3 and y1 = -1 
(-2,-5) x2 = -2 and y2 = -5 
now we sub 
slope = ((-5 - (-1)) / (-2 -3) 
slope = (-5 + 1) / -5 
slope = -4/-5 
slope = 4/5 

4. x = first integer 
x + 2 = 2nd integer 
x + x + 2 = 80 -- combine like terms 
2x + 2 = 80 -- subtract 2 from both sides 
2x = 80 - 2 
2x = 78 -- divide both sides by 2 
x = 39 <== this is the smallest number 
x + 2 = 41 

5. p = 1/2g - 3 

6. The union of two sets is all the numbers in both sets, no need to copy the same number more then once. Answer is : (1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10) 

7. 2x + 3y <= 6 -- put in y = mx + b form 
3y <= -2x + 6 
y <= -2/3x + 2 
In y = mx + b form, the y intercept is in the b position. So the y intercept is (0,2) 
To find the x intercept, sub in 0 for y (change inequality sign to equal sign) 
2x + 3y = 6 
2x + 3(0) = 6 
2x = 6 
x = 3 
x intercept is (3,0) 
So plot your points (3,0) and (0,2) 
Connect the points with a solid line because there is an equal sign in there. 
Shade below the line because it is less then. 

8. 3x + 6y = 8 
6y = -3x + 8 
y = -1/2x + 4/3 

y = 2x - 8 

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. The slope in these equations are -1/2 and 2. These are negative reciprocals of each other. 

9. 7x + 3y - 2 + 6x + 1 + y^2 
y^2 + 3y + 13x - 1 

10. (0,6) x1 = 0 and y1 = 6 
(3,0) x2 = 3 and y2 = 0 
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) 
slope(m) = (0 - 6) / (3 - 0) 
slope(m) = -6/3 
slope(m) = -2 

y = mx + b 
(0,6) x = 0 and y = 6 
6 = 0(-2) + b 
6 = b 

your equation is : y = -2x + 6 (slope intercept form) 
2x + y = 6 (standard form) 

11. x + y = 5 -- put this in y = mx + b form, and the m position is your slope 
y = -x + 5 (-x is the same as -1x) so your slope is -1 

12. 4y = 8x - 3 -- put in y = mx + b form, and the b stands for the y intercept 
y = 8/4x - 3/4 
y = 2x - 3/4 (the y intercept is -3/4 

13. |a| + b --- (a = -1.4 and b = -2.7) 
absolute values, whether they have a negative or not, they are always positive 
|a| + b 
|-1.4 | + (-2.7) 
1.4 - 2.7 = -1.3 <== your answer 

14. I cannot see the problem 

15. -4 < 2t <= 2 --- divide everything by 2 
-2 < t <= 1 
open circle on -2, closed circle on 1, shading in between 

16. x + 2y = -9 ---> x = -2y - 9 
now sub -2y - 9 in for x in the other equation 
4x - 2y = 14 
4(-2y - 9) - 2y = 14 -- distribute through the parenthesis 
-8y - 36 - 2y = 14 -- add 36 to both sides 
-8y - 2y = 14 + 36 combine like terms 
-10y = 50 -- divide by -10 
y = -5 
now sub -5 in for y in either of the original equations 
x + 2y = -9 
x + 2(-5) = -9 
x - 10 = -9 
x = -9 + 10 
x = 1 
answer : x = 1 and y = -5 or (1,-5) 

I was really bored so I thought I would just help out :)
