It is important to do the calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
  = 550/4
  = 137.5
So 55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from outside.This is the simplest way of solving such problems.

55 is 40% of 137.5

Convert your percentage into a decimal:
40%/100 = 0.4

Divide 55 by the decimal: 
55 ÷ 0.4 = 137.5

Find the equation of the plane that is parallel to the vectors left angle 3 comma 0 comma 3 right angle and left angle 0 comma 1
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

x + 3y -z - 3 = 0      

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the equation of plane that is parallel to the vectors

\langle 3,0,3\rangle, \langle0,1,3\rangle

The plane also passes through the point (2,0,-1).

Hence, the equation of plane s given by:

\displaystyle\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x-2&y-0&z+1\\3&0&3\\0&1&3\end{array}\right]\\\\=(x-2)(0-3) - (y-0)(9-0) + (z+1)(3-0)\\=-3(x-2)-9y+3(z+1)\\\Rightarrow -3x + 6 - 9y + 3z + 3 = 0\\\Rightarrow 3x + 9y -3z -9 = 0\\\Rightarrow x + 3y -z - 3 = 0

It is the required equation of plane.

Using the equation y = 3x – 5, what would the output be for an input of 2
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x - 5.....input values are x and output values are y

so if ur input (x) is 2.....sub 2 in for x and find ur output (y)

y = 3x - 5

y = 3(2) - 5

y = 6 - 5

y = 1 <=== ur output value
