Well, yesterday was 2.90 and today is 2.84, it dropped 6 pennies or $0.06.

now, if we take 2.90 to be the 100%, how much is 0.06 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
2.90&100\\
0.06&p
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.90}{0.06}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{0.06\cdot 100}{2.90}$

angle A and angle B are complementary angles. If m angle A = (x-16)degrees and m angle B = (3x+28)degrees, then find the measure

Ahat [919]

Answer:

$4x \times 448$

Step-by-step explanation:

A=

$a = (x - 16)$

$b = (3x + 28)$

So you add :

$x \: and3x$

To get

$4x$

Then you do :

$16 \times 28$

To get :

$448$

Answer is :

$4x \times 448$

Find the sum of the equation

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

$\frac{{y}^{2}+13y-6}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Rewrite ${y}^{2}-2y+1y$ in the form ${a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}$ , where a = y and b = 1.

$\frac{y}{{y}^{2}-2(y)(1)+{1}^{2}}+\frac{6}{{y}^{2}+6y-7}$

2) Use Square of Difference: ${(a-b)}^{2}={a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}$ .

$\frac{y}{{(y-1)}^{2}}+\frac{6}{{y}^{2}+6y-7}$

3) Factor ${y}^{2}+6y-7$ .

1 - Ask: Which two numbers add up to 6 and multiply to -7?

-1 and 7

2 - Rewrite the expression using the above.

$(y-1)(y-7)$

Outcome/Result: $\frac{y}{(y-1)^2} +\frac{6}{(y-1)(y+7)}$

4) Rewrite the expression with a common denominator.

$\frac{y(y+7)+6(y-1)}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}$

5) Expand.

$\frac{{y}^{2}+7y+6y-6}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}$

6) Collect like terms.

$\frac{{y}^{2}+(7y+6y)-6}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}$

7) Simplify ${y}^{2}+(7y+6y)-6y$ to ${y}^{2}+13y-6y$

$\frac{{y}^{2}+13y-6}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}$
