Answer:

<h3>           the first number is 5</h3><h3>           the first second is 6</h3><h3>           the first number is 1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

x   - first number

2x   - twice the first number

twice the first number exceeds the second number by 4 so:

2x-4   -the second number

y - the third number

the second number is equal to the sum of the first and third numbers:

2x-4 = x + y

x + y = 2x - 4

  -x        -x

y = x - 4       - the third number

the sum of three numbers:

x + 2x-4 + x-4 = 4x - 8

The sum of three numbers is 12 so:

4x - 8 = 12

   +8       +8

  4x = 20

  ÷4    ÷4

   x = 5

2x-4 = 2•5 - 4 = 6

x-4 = 5 - 4 = 1

Check:

5+1 = 6

2•5 = 10,  10-4 = 6

The price of a notebook was
Pie

Old price: p1 = $ 3.90;

New price: p2 = $ 3.40.


The percentual decrease is given by

d(%) = [ (p2 - p1) / p1 ] * 100 %

d(%) = [ (3.40 - 3.90) / 3.90 ] * 100 %

d(%) = [ - 0.50 / 3.90 ] * 100 %

d(%) = - 0.128 * 100 %

d(%) = - 12.8 % (approximately)


So the price fell 12.8 % approximately.


I hope this helps. =)

HELP ASAP!!! DUE SOON!!! <br> Linear,exponential, or neither?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

It is therefore a exponential function, as y increases with x.

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinates: ( 7 , 5 ) , ( 16 , 10 )

Slope: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

         : \frac{10-5}{16-7}

         : \frac{5}{9}

equation: y - y1 = m( x - x1 )

              : y - 5 = \frac{5}{9}(x - 7)

              : y = \frac{5}{9}x+\frac{10}{9}

check if third coordinates matches:

y = \frac{5}{9}(25)+\frac{10}{9}

y = 15 ......does not match, so its not linear.
