Answer:
about 14.28% for 1/7th
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem is applied to the right triangles.
Pythagorean theorem is a²+b²=c².
a is the length is the leg, b is also a leg and c is the hypotenuse
Answer:
(-1/2, 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the elimination by adding or subtracting method. Note that we have 8y in the first equation, and that we could obtain -8y in the second equation by multiplying the second equation by 2:
2(24x - 4y = -15) => 48x - 8y = -30
Now combine this result (this equation) with the first equation:
2x + 8y = 5
+48x -8y = -30
---------------------
50x = - 25
Dividing both sides by 50, to isolate x, we get
x = -25/50 = -1/2.
Now substitute -1/2 for x in the first equation and solve the resulting equation for y:
2x + 8y = 5
2(-1/2) + 8y = 5, or -1 + 8y = 5, or 8y = 6 (after having added 1 to both sides)
Dividing both sides of 8y = 6 by 8 leads to determining the value of y:
y = 6/8 = 3/4
The solution is (-1/2, 3/4).
1/5 is 2% or 0.2, therefor 2/5 is 4% or 0.4
