Answer:
The fraction will increase by 100%
Step-by-step explanation:
Say the fraction is x/y. The question is telling us to decrease x by 20% (i.e. 0.8x) and to decrease y by 60% (i.e. 0.4y):

You can see that by applying these changes, the new fraction is actually double the old fraction (i.e. will increase by 100%).
Answer:
Prime
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 20x − 36
You must find a pair of numbers that multiply to give -36 and add to give +20.
The likely candidates are 2 and 18, and they must have opposite signs to give a negative product.
+2 × (-18) = -36; +2 + (-18) = -16
-2 × 18 = -36; -2 + 8 = +16
Neither combination gives +20 as the sum.
The expression can't be factored with rational numbers.
The expression is prime.
9 + 10=21 :)
9=3 x3
10= 2 x 5
3x5=15
3x2=6
15 + 6 = 21 :)
Answer:
a. 53.4
b. 24.4
Step-by-step explanation:
a+j=77.8
j=a-29
a+j=77.8
-a+j=-29
2j=48.8
j=24.4
a+24.4=78.8
a=53.4
