Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage was a decrease.

Let the percent be x.

60 × (1 - x%) = 40

60 × (1 - x/100) = 40

1 - x/100 = 40/60

-x/100 = 40/60 - 1

-x/100 = -1/3

x/100 = 1/3

x = 33.33333

Rewrite the expression as

$2a^2-4ab+3ab-6b^2$

Factor 2a from the first two terms and 3b from the last two:

$2a(a-2b)+3b(a-2b)$

Factor a-2b

$(a-2b)(2a+3b)$

If p(x)=2x^2-4 and q(x)=x-3, what is (p•q)(x)

olasank [31]

(p of q)(x) means that q(x) is inserted into p(x).

p(q(x)) = 2(x - 3)^2 - 4

Expand (x - 3)^2.

p(q(x)) = 2(x^2 - 6x + 9) - 4

p(q(x)) = 2x^2 - 12x + 14

The area of a cross section perpendicular to the base of a rectangular prism is 45 square inches. If the length and width of the

Naily [24]

The height of the prism is $2.25 \ in$

Explanation:

It is given that the area of the cross section of the rectangular prism is 45 square inches.

Length of the rectangular prism is $5 \ in$

Width of the rectangular prism is $5 \ in$

To determine the height of the prism, let us substitute these values in the formula $SA=(2l+2w)h$ , we get,

$45=(2(5)+2(5))h$

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we get,

$45=(10+10)h$

Adding the terms within the bracket, we have,

$45=20h$

Dividing both sides by 20, we get,

$2.25=h$

Thus, the height of the rectangular prism is $2.25 \ in$
