Five hundred dollars more than 10% of am amount of money $m is $1280. Find m.

1 answer:

6 0

For this one, we need to make an equation to make it look easier
(0.10 × m) + 500 = 1280
We solve for m
Subtract 500 from both sides and we get
0.10 × m = 780
Now, divide both sides by 0.10
And m would be equal to 7800
Let's see if this is correct.
Five hundred dollars more than 10% of m
We found that 10% of m is 780, now we add 500 to make the statement true. It will give us a total of 1280, which is equal of what the question says.
I hope this helps.
YOU'RE WELCOME :D

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering significant: p <= 0.05

A multiple choice question has 18 possible answers, only one of which is correct.

which means that the probability is 1 out 18, so

p = 1/18 = 0.056

As 0.056 > 0.050

Then, it is not significant

Find an equation of the line passing through the pair of points. Write the equation in the form Ax +By = C.

Answer:

5x -y = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:

A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5

B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1

Then the constant C can be found using either point.

5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37

The equation of the line is ...

5x -y = -37

<em>Additional comment</em>

This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

$\dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\\\Delta x(y-y_1)=\Delta y(x-x_1)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\Delta y(x-x_1)-\Delta x(y-y_1)=0\qquad\text{subtract y term}\\\\\Delta y(x) -\Delta x(y) = \Delta y(x_1)-\Delta x(y_1)\qquad\text{Ax+By=C form}$
