Hello.
The percent decrease in the mass of the pumpkin for this case will be given by:
(100 - (3.9 / 6.5) * 100) =
(100-60) =40%
After carving it, the pumpkin decreases a percent of 40% in the mass.
Have a nice day
Answer:
Let X be the number of weeks.
2x - 16 = 14
we add 16 on both sides.
2x = 30
now we divide 2 on both sides to get rid of the 2 to the x, we want to get x on its own.
X = 15
Simplify the expression first by the "flip and multiply" method. We end up first with:
[x(x-3)]/[x⁻¹(x+4)]
Simplifying further we have:
[x²(x-3)]/(x+4)
Solving for restriction we equate the denominator to 0:
x + 4 = 0
x = -4
x≠4 (-4 is a restriction of the expression)
