Answer:
x = 25% percent decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem we will use percentage calculation and make proportion:
Initial value 56 points is worth 100%
Second value 56 - 42 = 14 points of decrease is worth x%
56 : 14 = 100 : x
When we multiply external and internal members we get:
56 · x = 14 · 100 => x = 1400/56 = 25%
x = 25% percent decrease

Answer: x = 1.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by Identifying what you need to keep, in this case that would be X. In order to solve for x, you would need to get rid of any co-efficients. (example: +1.1) To get rid of them, you have to do the opposite action of what it's doing to the equation. (subtraction) 
1.1- (-2.1) = 3.2 (if you subtract a negative, it turns positive/ you add) leaving you with x/2 = 3.2.
Now that we have our coefficient out the way, we have to get rid of the division so we can <u>only</u> solve for x. We do that by dividing the remainder of the equation by 2
3.2/2 = 1.6
Leaving us with the answer, x = 1.6

Answer:
   21.25 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
In miles per second, the speed of the jet is ...
   (720 mi/h)/(3600 s/h) = 1/5 mi/s
The speed of the sound is the same:
   (1 mi)/(5 s) = 1/5 mi/s
Then the rate of closure between the airplane and the sound is ...
   (1/5 mi/s) +(1/5 mi/s) = 2/5 mi/s
To find the time required to close a gap of 8 1/2 miles, we can use the relation ...
   time = distance/speed
   time = (8.5 mi)/(0.4 mi/s) = 21.25 s
The pilot will hear the thunder 21.25 seconds after the flash.
