Answer:
v=6
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's simplify the equation so it will be easier to PEMDAS the equation later.
-7v+4(2-5v)=-154
-7v+8-20v=-154
-27v+8=-154
Now you must isolate the v variable. You do this by subtracting 8 first and then divide by -27.
-27v+8=-154
-27v=-162
v = 6
When you use this formula slope = rise/run like rise over run than you find the slope. rise me y and run means x. So when the line slopes downwards to the right it became negative slope as x increases and when line sloped upward to the right the slope become positive as y decreases.
formula to find slope: slope = rise/run or y/x
For this problem you can create a proportion.
Since 31,100 copies is 7.8% of the total copies spoke up to date you can make this proportion:
31,100. 7.8%
——— =. ———
x. 100%
Now you cross multiply and you will get
7.8x=3,110,000
After this you solve for x by isolating the variable.
7.8x/7.8. 3,110,000/7.8
x=398,717.949
Since the question asks you to round to the nearest whole number which is 7 then the final answer would be 398,718
Answer: There has been 398,718 copies sold to date.
