Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
-x<-x+7(x-2)
-x<-x+7x-14 Distribute the 7
-x<6x-14 Combine like terms
-7x<-14 Move all variables to one side
x>2 Divide by -7 to isolate the variable
Answer:
d=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Because multiplication is commutative, we can rearrange the expression however we want. So, let's put the constant expressions together, and the variable expressions together:
(3 x 4) x (d^-4 x d^4)
The first term is easy enough: (3 x 4) = 12
For the second term, when exponent terms have the same "base" (in this case, d), the exponents can be added together. So, the second term yields d^(-4 + 4) = d^0. Any number raised to the zero power equals 1, EXCEPT for the sole number of zero. 0^0 is undefined, but any other number raised to the zero power equals 1.
So, if d equals any number other than zero, the expression becomes
(12) x (1) = 12
The best way to express the answer would be that the expression equals 12 except that it is undefined if d=0
Answer:
y = 8/5x
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming that they're asking for the equation in point-slope form.
The formula is y=mx+b where:
m = slope
b = y intercept
However, the y intercept is just (0,0) so b = 0
To find the slope we already have 2 given points: (0,0) and (5,8)
To find slope you do rise/run and you get 8/5
Substitute the slope & y intercept in the formula:
y = 8/5x
Let me know if I'm wrong!!
The angle does not matter. Think of it as finding the other side to a triangle. Use
a=39 (line AB)
b=b (the leg we need to find)
c=89 (line BD)
(subtract the 1521 from both sides)
(square root both sides)
b = 80
AD=80
