You would set this up as Part÷Whole=Percent÷100
Part=117
Whole= X
Percent=78
117÷X=78÷100
Set these up as fractions and cross multiply. You will get 117×100=78X
117×100=11,700
Divide both sides by 78 and you get x=150

Answer: x = 0
y = 2
z = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations are
x+y+z=1 - - - - - - - - - - 1
-2x+4y+6z=2 - - - - - - - - - 2
-x+3y-5z=11 - - - - - - - - - 3
Step 1
We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 3. It becomes
4y -4z = 12 - - - - - - - - - 4
Step 2
We would multiply equation 1 by 2. It becomes
2x + 2y + 2z = 2 - - - - - - - - - 5
We would add equation 2 and equation 5. It becomes
6y + 8z = 4 - - - - - - - - - 6
Step 3
We would multiply equation 4 by 6 and equation 6 by 4. It becomes
24y - 24z = 72 - - - - - - - - 7
24y + 32z = 16 - - - - - - - - 8
We would subtract equation 8 from equation 7. It becomes
-56z = 56
z = -56/56 = -1
Substituting z = -1 into 7, it becomes
24y - 24×-1 = 72
24y + 24 = 72
24y = 72 - 24 = 48
y = 48/24 = 2
Substituting y = 2 and z = -1 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 2 - 1 = 1
x = 1 - 1 = 0
Answer:
the answer is C (280 square feet)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, cut the lawn so that it becomes two shapes: a rectangle, and a triangle. Solve for both areas.
A(r) = lw
A(r) = (14)(16)
A(r) = 224 square feet
A(t) = bh/2
A(t) = (8)(14) / 2
A(t) = 112 / 2
A(t) = 56 square feet
Add the two areas:
A(r) + A(t) = Area of lawn
224 square feet + 56 square feet = 280 square feet.
Answer:
n = - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
n/9 + 2/3 = - 2/3
n/9 = - 2/3 - 2/3
n/9 = - 4/3
n = 9(- 4/3)
n = -36/3
n = - 12
