2)The goal is to isolate the variable and get is down to x<?. This is actually a two step inequality problem. 0.7x - 2 < 5.5 +2 +2 0.7x<7.5 This implies: x<10.714 The way to graph this is to place an open circle of the number 10.714 on the number line indicating this number is not included as a solution to the inequality. Then draw the arrow going left from the open circle indicating all numbers from -∞ to 10.714.
Answer:
24.6 % decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original temperature
Increase by 25%
x + .25x
1.25x
Decrease by 40%
The amount decreased is
(1.25x) *.40
.496x
Subtract that from 1.25x
1.25x - .496x
.754x
We need to find the percent decrease
1 - .754 = .246
24.6 % decrease
