Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Patrica got 80% correct. She missed 4 problems, so that must have been the remaining 20% of the test.

Therefore:

4 = 20% x

Percent means out of 100, so:

4 = (20/100) x

4 = 1/5 x

x = 20

There were 20 problems on the test.

Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below?

Anarel [89]

Answer:

A. 4x²+20x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of PEMDAS, you calculate the value inside of the parenthesis first, so you expand [2x+1-(4x+6)]:

2x+1-4x-6 = -2x-5.

Then apply the exponent:

(-2x-5)² = (-2x-5)(-2x-5) = 4x²+10x+10x+25 = 4x²+20x+25

What fraction is equivalent to 36/60 and the sum of the numerator and denominator is 24

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The fraction is $\frac{9}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{36}{60}$ = $\frac{x}{y}$

Where x and y are the numerator and denominator of our new fraction respectively.

Also given is that x + y = 24

So $\frac{x}{y}$ = 36 ÷ 60 = 0.6

x = 0.6y

Substituting x in x + y = 24 gives;

0.6y + y = 24 , 1.6y = 24

y = 24 ÷ 1.6 = 15

x = 24 - 15 = 9

So our fraction is $\frac{9}{15}$
