Mathematics

astra-53 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is

change/original.

So let's subtract 17 from 55 to find the change. 55-17=38

This is the change. Now we divide it by the original, 17.

38/17=2.235294

We're not done yet! We have to move the decimal point over to the right 2 spaces to make it a percentage. So, the percentage increase is

about 223.53 percent

Answer:

  -15, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3|x+6| -7 = 20

3|x +6| = 27 . . . . add 7

|x +6| = 9 . . . . . . divide by 3

This resolves to two equations:

  x + 6 = 9

  x = 3 . . . . . subtract 6

and

  x + 6 = -9

  x = -15 . . . . subtract 6

netineya [11]

Answer:

15.5x - 300 >= 280

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of hours she works.

The amount of money she earns will be 15.50x

Her rent costs $300, so that value gets subtracted from the amount she earns. That makes our expression for how much money she earns:

15.5x - 300

This amount has to be over 280, so our inequality will be:

15.5x - 300 >= 280

A trapezoid has bases of lengths 13 cm and 17 cm. The
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

135 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h(a + b)

where h is the height and a, b the parallel bases

Here h = 9, a = 13 and b = 17 , thus

A = \frac{1}{2} × 9 × (13 + 17)

   = 0.5 × 9 × 30

   = 135 cm²
