Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I did it was doing 12/20 to find what percentage of 12 is 20. I found out that was 60%, which means that the sweater's price was reduced by 40%. However, there are other ways of doing this.

A better way is solving for percentage is: initial value - final value / initial value

|20-12|/20 = 0.4 or 40%

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

12 ÷ 20 = .6

You can convert the .6 to a percentage by multiplying it:

.6 x 100 = 60%

If 12 is 60% of 20, then that means 40% was taken away.

(a)

y=-5x^2+21x-3

for x = 2:

y=-5(2)^2+21(2)-3=-20+42-3=19

for x = 5

y=-5(5)^2+21(5)-3=-125+105-3=-23

(b)

The graph is:

(c)

Using the graph:

\begin{gathered} x=1.8,y=18.6 \\ x=0.548,y=7 \\ x=3.65,y=7 \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} x=1.8 \\ y=-5(1.8)^2+21(1.8)-3=-16.2+37.8-3=18.6 \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} y=7 \\ -5x^2+21x-3=7 \\ -5x^2+21x-10=0 \end{gathered}

Using the quadratic formula:

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ x=\frac{-21\pm\sqrt[]{21^2-4(-5)(-10)}}{2(-5)} \\ x=\frac{-21\pm\sqrt[]{241}}{-10} \\ x=0.54758 \\ or \\ x=3.6524 \end{gathered}

2z -5(z +2) = -8 - 2z<br><br> Please explain!! Thank you
Korolek [52]

Follow PEMDAS.

You would first do your distributive property which is, -5(z+2). You would multiply -5 to z and -5 to 2 which will give you -5z + -10.

so now you have 2z-5z+ -10= -8 - 2z. Now you must isolate the variable. So subtract -8 to -10 which will give you -18.

Now you have the equation 2z-5z-18=-2z

Now combine like terms. 2z-5z= -3z

Now you have the equation -3z-18=-2z

Now you must move the -3z to the other side of the equal sign by adding the opposite which is +3z to -2z which will give you +1z

Now you have -18= 1z

Now you divide. -18 divided by 1 is -18.

So your final answer will be -18=z
