85% of what number equals 17

1 answer:

8 0

Percent means parts out of 100
85%=85/100=0.85
'of' means multiply

therefor
85% of x equals 17 means
0.85 times x=17
divide both sides by 0.85
x=20

the number is 20

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

$1min = 60 \: s \\ three \: seconds - - - - - 300 \: miles \\ 60 \: seconds = 3 \times 20 \: seconds \\ so \: we \: have \: 20 \: of \: three \: sconds \: \\ which \: means \: 20 \: three \: hundreds \: \\ 20 \times 300 = 6000 \: miles \: \\ and \: we \: are \: done.$

Factor out the GCF from the given polynomial. 10^3 + 16^2 - 18x 10^3 + 16^2 - 18x = (Type your answer in factored form.)

Vesna [10]

Correct question is;

Factor out the GCF from the given polynomial. 10x³ + 16x² - 18x. (Type your answer in factored form.)

Answer:

GCF = 5x² + 8x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is;

10x³ + 16x² - 18x

First thing is to inspect the coefficients and see the greatest number that all three can be divided by evenly without remainder.

The greatest number is 2.

Secondly let's inspect the variables to see what we can factor out.

They all contain x. Thus, x is a factor.

Thus, we will divide each term by 2x to obtain the GCF of the polynomial.

GCF = (10x³/2x) + (16x²/2x) - (18x/2x)

GCF = 5x² + 8x - 9
