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
Answer:
132 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
its the same as the other side since its a rhombus :)
did i help?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2(5-4g) + 3g - 11 = 5(g-3) - 12 - 3g (remove the parantheses)
10 - 8g + 3g - 11 = 5g - 15 - 12 -3g (Calculate and collect like terms)
-1 - 5g = 2g - 27 (move the terms)
-5g -2g = 27 + 1 (collect like terms and calculate)
-7g = -26 (divide both sides)
so G = 26/7
When a function intersects with the x-axis, it's y value must be 0. That means when the straight line intersects with the axis, it's at the point (4k,0), so plugging those numbers into our original equation yields:
