I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
Answer:
They are at the same height at 1.13 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The rockets are at the same height when f(x) = g(x) [see below] are the same. So you can equate them.
Givens
f(x) = - 16x^2 + 74x + 9
g(x) = -16x^2 + 82x I have changed this so you don't have 2 f(x)s
Solution
- f(x) = g(x)
- -16x^2 + 74x + 9 = -16x^2 + 82x Add: 16x^2 to both sides
- -16x^2+16x^2+74x + 9 = -16x^2+16x^2 + 82x Combine terms
- 74x + 9 = 82x Subtract 74x from both sides
- 74x - 74x + 9 = 82x - 74x Combine
- 9 = 8x Divide by 8
- 9/8 = 8x/8
- x = 1 1/8 Convert to decimal
- x = 1.125
- x = 1.13 [rounded]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
since you are learning about similar triangles... i'd guess that some where of the picture.. there is some words that say, that the two smaller triangles are the same, similar , congruent.. so that we can just add up angles 1 + 2 or
13 + 13 = 26 °
The other number is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we develop formulae for the given information. A number is added with 3 and the resulting sum is multiplied by 4. This number is then divided by 2 and the quotient is 0. Assume the unknown number is x, then the given information is as follows
The quotient of 
is 0. So = 0.
Step 2; Now we solve the above equation. The denominator is taken to the RHS and the RHS remains zero.
= 0, 4(x+3)= 0, 4x+ 12 = 0, 4x = -12, x = 
= -3.
So the other number is -3.
