Answer:
x = -25 / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
10 / 3 = x / (-5/2)
10 / 3 * (-5 / 2) = x
x = -50 / 6
x = -25 / 3
Answer:
Answer:
-13
Step-by-step explanation
Rounded to the nearest 0.01 or
the Hundredths Place.
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
For this case we must follow the steps below:
step 1:
We place each of the given points on a coordinate axis
Step 2:
We join the AC points (represented by the orange line)
We join the BD points (represented by the blue line)
It is observed that the resulting figure after placing the 4 points on a coordinate axis, turns out to be a rhombus.
In addition, the blue and orange lines turn out to be perpendicular, that is, they have an angle of 90 degrees between them. This can be verified by finding the slopes of each of the two straight lines (blue and orange), which must be opposite reciprocal, that is, they comply: 
In this case, the slope of the orange line is
and that of the blue line is 
Then
, it is verified that they are perpendicular.
Thus, the conclusion is that ABCD is a rhombus and AC is perpendicular to BD.
