I'll give a practice problem to help explain it a bit better.
Here, let's try to solve 45% of of 60.
First, we convert the percentage into a decimal. To turn any percentage into a decimal you move the point two spaces to the left.
That means 45% as a decimal is .45.
Next, we multiply our number, 60, by the decimal .45.
60×.45=27.
That means 45% of 60 is 27.
To sum it all up, you have to get the percentage, move the decimal point two spaces to the left, and multiply it by the number you were trying to find the percentage of.
Have a wonderful day! :)
The bases were not the same when the exponents were set equal to each other.
16 should have been written as 4 squared.
The exponent on the right should be 4a instead of 8a.
The correct solution is a=-3/4.
This statement is false<span>. Because the </span>base angles<span> of an </span>isosceles triangle<span> are</span>congruent<span>, if one </span>base angle<span> is a right </span>angle<span> then both </span>base angles<span> must be right</span>angles<span>. It is impossible to have a </span>triangle<span> with two right (90^\circ)</span>angles<span>.</span>
