Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the initial value of the stock at the beginning of 2006. And y the value at the end of 2006.

When it went up by 25% in 2006;

y = x + 25% of x = x + 0.25x = 1.25x

For the value to go back to the original price, it has to decrease from y to x;

y = 1.25x

The percentage decrease from y to x is;

= (y-x)/y × 100%

Substituting the values;

= (1.25x -x)/1.25x × 100%

= 0.25x/1.25x × 100%

= 0.2 × 100%

= 20%

Therefore, it will have to go down 20%

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> x = ?
Tema [17]

The partial circles in each corner mean that all 3 angles are identical, which means this is an equatorial triangle. In an equatorial triangle all three sides are the same.


We can set two of the equations to equal each other and solve for x:


3x -5 = 2x +20

Add 5 to each side:

3x = 2x +25

Subtract 2x from each side:

x = 25

Solve for a.<br> a^2=-3a+88
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a=8,-11

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2=-3a+88

a^2+3a=88

a^2+3a-88=0

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-88)} }{2(1)}

x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+352} }{2}

x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{361} }{2}

x=\frac{-3\pm19 }{2}

x=-11 and x=8

Therefore, the values of a are 8 and -11.
