We can rephrase the question as "What percent of 50 is 20?".
"What percent ..." is an unknown. We'll use the variable x to represent this unknown.
The word 'of' in mathematics can mean 'multiply'. Likewise the word 'is' can mean 'equal'.
Now we have the phrase "20 equals to x times 50".
Or in an equation: 20 = x * 50
Solve for x.
20 = x * 50

= x <-- Divide both sides by 50
Simplify the fraction.

Convert the fraction into a decimal.

= 0.4
Convert the decimal into a percent.
0.4 = 40%
So, 40% is the answer.
I think niether I'm soooo sorry if I get it wrong
The first derivative gives you the formula for the slope of the tangent line to the curve at a given point.
<span>Find the first derivative of the function y=5x/x-2:
(x-2)(5) - (5x)(1)
dy/dx = ------------------------
(x-2)^2
simplify the algebra here.
(3-2)(5) - (15)(1)
Then, at the point (3,15), dy/dx = -------------------------- = -10
(3-2)^2
What is the equation of the tangent line? In other words, what is the eqn of the tan line to the given curve at when x = 3, if the slope is -10?
y-15 = -10(x-3)
This can be re-written in other forms if desired.
