Answer:

87.8

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have to multiply 91 times 3.5 which equals 318.5

                      91 × 3.5 = 318.5

Then divide 318.5 by 100 which equals 3.185

                      318.5 ÷ 100 = 3.185

Next subtract 91 by 3.185 which equals 87.815

                      91 - 3.185 = 87.815

Last Round 87.815 to 87.8

                       87.8 should be the answer

Hope this helps

Answer:

The number is 94.3 (to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number =x

When x is decreased by 3.5%, we have:

(100% of x)-(3.5% of x)=(100-3.5)% of x =96.5% of x

When a number is decreased by 3.5%, the result is 91.

Therefore:

96.5% of x = 91

Converting percentage to decimal: 96.5%=0.965

0.965x = 91

Divide both sides by 0.965

x=94.3

The number is 94.3 (to the nearest tenth)

Which represents the solution(s) of the system of equations, y = x2 – 2x – 15 and y = 8x – 40? Determine the solution set algebr
almond37 [142]

Answer:

(5, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x² - 2x - 15 → (1)

y = 8x - 40 → (2)

Substitute y = x² - 2x - 15 into (2)

x² - 2x - 15 = 8x - 40 ( subtract 8x - 40 from both sides )

x² - 10x + 25 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 5)² = 0 ← in factored form, thus

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into (2) for corresponding value of y

y = 8(5) - 40 = 40 - 40 = 0

Solution is (5, 0 )
