Answer: 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
In 2010 the percentage of fatal accidents was 16%.
This is 34% less than it was in 2000 because the text says that the 2010 percentage was 16% after being reduced by 34% from 2010.
The percentage of fatal accidents in 2000 is therefore:
= 2010 fatal percentage + Percentage reduced from 2000
= 16% + 34%
= 50%
Why now :cccccccccccccccccc
Answer:
x = 65
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle labeled with the expression " ( 2x + 15 ) " and the angle with the measure of 145° are vertical angles
Vertical angles are congruent (In other words, they are equal to each other)
Hence, 2x + 15 = 145
^ ( Note that we just created an equation that we can use
to solve for x )
Using that same equation we then solve for x
2x + 15 = 145
step 1 subtract 15 from each side
15 - 15 cancels out
145 - 15 = 130
we now have 130 = 2x
step 2 divide each side by 2
130 / 2 = 65
2x / 2 = x
we're left with x = 65
