Answer:

The whole number was 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the whole number that is to be determined is = x

Then 70% of this number = 70% of x

Replace 'of' by the sign of multiplication

70% of x = $x\times \frac{70}{100}$

= 0.7x

If 70% of x is equal to 84 then the expression will be

0.7x = 84

x = $\frac{84}{0.7}$

x = $\frac{840}{7}$

x = 120

Therefore, the whole number was 120.

Set up an equation.

Let w = whole number

84 = 0.70w

84/0.70 = w

120 = w

The distances between three cities on a map are 45 miles, 56 miles, and 72 miles. Do the positions of

ollegr [7]

Answer:

The position of the three cities do not form a right-triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three cities on a map (say A, B, and C).

Now, the distances between them are 45 miles, 56 miles, and 72 miles.

i.e. AB= 45 miles, BC= 56 miles and CA =72 miles.

If the three cities A, B, C form a right-angled triangle on the map, then applying Pythagoras Theorem AB² +BC² =AC²

or, AC= √(AB² +BC²) must be satisfied.

Now, right-hand side of the above equation =√(45²+56²) =71.84 ≠ 72 (AC)

Hence, Right-hand side ≠ Left-hand side.

Therefore, the positions of the three cities do not form a right triangle. (Answer)

Marie and fe work in a flower shop 6 hours on weekend to add their daily allowance in school. They spends 2 1/3 hours for making

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

2 1/6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/3 + 1 1/2 + x = 6

convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions

7/3 + 3/2 + x = 6/1

change all numbers to have a common denominator

14/6 + 9/6 + x = 36/6

combine like terms

23/6 + x = 36/6

subtract 23/6 from both sides

x = 13/6

convert improper fraction to mixed number

2 1/6

Function g is a transformation of the parent sine function such that g(x) = sin(x - pi) - 2. which graph represents function g?

azamat

Answer:

The lower left image is best

Step-by-step explanation:

Sine 0 or -π are both zero, but increasing x would normally have the line moving above the neutral line. Subtracting π from the x value inverts the sine wave so the line moves first below the neutral line as x increases.

Subtracting 2 from all sine results shifts the neutral line down 2 units.
