The food service gave out 80 samples, which is 4 fewer than 70% of the total number of samples they prepared. Lets make x the total number of samples they prepared.
So lets write it as an equation
80 = (70% of x) -4
70% converts to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 spaces up, so it is 0.7
80 = 0.7x-4
Add 4 to both sides of the equation
84 = 0.7x
Divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate the x
x = 120
The food service prepared 120 samples.
<h3>Hm ok, so the correct answer here would be (0,3) and heres why:</h3>
If the y would be equal to 0, everything would then just depend if you add or subtract the x:

Now the first answer could be correct for:

However, this answer is not correct for the other equation. the same true for all the other answers except (0,3)

Are there any other symbols missing in this equation because right now it’s just the variables
1. To solve this problem, you must apply the formula for calculate the area of the trapezoid, which is:
A=(B+b)h/2
A is the area of the trapezoid (A=69.6 in²).
(B+b) is the sum of the bases of the trapezoid.
h is the height of the trapezoid (h=8.7 in).
2. When you clear the sum of the bases (B+b), you have:
A=(B+b)h/2
2A=<span>(B+b)h
</span><span> (B+b)=2A/h
</span> (B+b)=2(69.6 in²)/(8.7 in)
(B+b)=16 in
3. The problem says that <span>the sum of its legs is equal to the sum of its bases, therefore, the perimeter is:
</span>
Sum of the legs=Sum of the bases (B+b)=16 in
Perimeter=16 in+16 in
Perimeter=32 in
The answer is the last option.
All you have to do is subtract the 1 on both side of the equation to set it to 0 to get it into the general form.
