Let x + 15 = total penguins

15/ (x +15) = .30

15 = .30x + 4.5

.30x = 10.5

x = 35

Total penguins = 15 + 35 = 50

Double Check

15 / 50 * 100 = 30% Correct!!!

What's the distance between (0,2) and (0,8)?

N76 [4]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be calculated with the formula

$\boxed{\textcolor{steelblue}{\text{Distance between 2 points}= \sqrt{(y_1 - y_2)^{2} + (x_1 - x_2)^{2} } }}$

However, since (0, 2) and (0, 8) have the same x coordinate of 0, the distance between them is the difference in their y-coordinates.

Distance between (0, 2) and (0, 8)

= 8 -2

= 6 units

Y=3x 2y-5x=4 I need the work and answer for it

telo118 [61]

U plug in the y
2 (3x) -5x=4
simplify
6x -5x =4
solve
x=4
so now you know x=4 so plug that in for x
y= 3(4)
y=12
check your answer
2(12)-5(4)=4
solve
24-20=4
4=4
so you now you got the answer right !

hope that helps!
