I believe the number written on the board was 5. If you don't understand, please ask!

Let the number be x.

First student increased the number by 23, therefore
⇒ x + 23

Second student decreased the number by 1, therefore
⇒ x - 1

The first student's result was 7 times greater than the result of the second student's, therefore
⇒ x + 23 = 7(x - 1)

----------------------------------------------
Solve for x:
----------------------------------------------
x + 23 = 7( x- 1)
x + 23 = 7x - 7
6x = 30
x = 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The  number on the board is 5.

Can you use use the formula A = 1/2 x b x h to find the area of any triangle? Explain.
Morgarella [4.7K]
You can use it to find the area of a right triangle because a right triangle is basically a rectangle cut in half diagonally. However, this formula does not apply to all triangles because those that are not right triangles don't have a base or height, they're not really a rectangle. Because the formula for a rectangle's area is bxh, a right triangle is half of that. I hope this made sense and was helpful. :)

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you see they say that the number decreased is 10% each and they say it two times. we could see that the missing number is as big as the length of two 10% together, so if you add them two you get 20%.
