5x + 2y =20 when x =0.3?

5 0

Hey there! :)

First, let's substitute x with 0.3, and multiply by 5

0.3 × 5 = 1.5

Here is your new equation:

1.5 + 2y = 20

Subtract 1.5 from 20

20 - 1.5 = 18.5

2y = 18.5

Divide both by 2

2y ÷ 2 = y
18.5 ÷ 2 = 9.25

y = 9.25

Hope this helps :)

9.25 I think. Multiply 5 by .3 and subtract that from 20. Divide what you get from the subtraction by 2

The area of the triangle is
(1/2)*(6)*(7) = 21 cm²

The area of the square is
(2)(2) = 4 cm²

The area of the triangle that is not covered by the square is
21 - 4 = 17 cm²

The probability that the dot will be placed outside the square is
17/21

Answer: 17/21 (or 0.81)

1. Last year a fishing license cost $52.00. This year the license will cost $46.80.

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get the drop in value by deducting the price this year from last year's price.

Value decrease=$52.00-$46.80=$5.20

To express it as a percentage, we divide it by the original price which was $52.00 then multiply by 100 hence the percentage decrease will be

$\frac {5.20}{52.00}\times 100=10\ %$
