Answer:
the original number is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
1. let 1x be your starting number
2. therefore, 0.5 * 1x = 0.5x ( amount after you decreased it by 50%)
3. then increase: 0.5x * 1.5 = 0.75x (amount after you increased it by 50%)
4. 0.75x < 1x (this means that the original number is larger than the one you decreased and then increased)
Answer:
I have uploaded a picture so you could understand it a little more.
A linear function is when there is a table that gives numbers that represent a function, as shown in the picture.
In the Image, there is a table with a x and y column. And in both columns, there are numbers.
This is what the table looks like in the picture:
<u> x y </u>
0 4 The key is y = 2x + 4
1 6 <------ lets grab the number 1 in the x column and lets
2 8 multiply it by two. Now add four to it, and we will
3 10 have the number 6 in the y column.
4 12

The direct answer to your question is: "No".
because in that equation, 'x' is not 120 or130.
Let's find out what 'x' actually is:
<u>3/5 x = 52</u>
Multiply each side by 5 : 3x = 260
Divide each side by 3 : <em> x = 86 and 2/3 </em>
