First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%

<span>3x - 2y + 2y > -14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 0 > -14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x > -14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 14 > -14 + 14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 14 > 0 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 14 > 2y </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > 2y/2 </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(2/2) </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(1) </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y </span>
<span>y < (3x + 14)/2 </span>
<span>y < 3x/2 + 14/2 </span>
<span>y < 3x/2 + 7 </span>
<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>“y” is LESS THAN (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>the slope intercept form of the inequality is: y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>STEP 2: Temporarily change the inequality into an equation by replacing the < symbol with an = symbol. </span>
<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>STEP 3: Prepare the x-y table using the equation from Step 2. </span>
<span>Using the slope intercept form of the equation from Step 2, choose a value for x, and then compute y for at least three points. </span>
<span>Although you could plot the graph with just two sets of x-y coordinates, you should compute at least three different sets of coordinates points to ensure you have not made a mistake. All three x-y coordinates must lie on the same straight line. If they do not, you have made a mistake. </span>
<span>You can choose any value for x. </span>
<span>For example, (arbitrarily) choose x = -2 </span>
<span>If x = -2, </span>
<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>y = (3/2)*(-2) + 7 </span>
<span>y = 4 </span>
First, solve for the slope. This can be found by looking at the y and x intercepts. At x = 0, y = 1.5. At x = 2, y = 0.
Slope is defined as Δy/Δx, or the change in y over the change in x. This means that in order to calculate the slope, you must find the difference between the values of y and divide it by the difference in the values of x for the two points to determine the slope between them.
(0 - 1.5)/(2-0) = (-1.5)/2 = -0.75 or -3/4
Now that you have the slope, we can write the equation in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope we calculated and b is the y intercept, 1.5.
y = (-3/4)x + 1.5
Answer:
b
