Answer:

Your answer would be 11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

(is) = part = %

(of) = whole = 100%

x/75 = 15/100

x = 11.25

(ps i looked up how to do this so correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks!)

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

15% * x = 75

(15/100) * x = 75           Multiply both sides by 100/15

(15/100)*(100/15) = 75 * 100/15

x = 7500/15

x = 500

Answer 500

Proportion

15/100 = 75 / x             Cross multiply

15x = 100*75                Combine the right

15x = 7500                   Divide 15

15x/15 = 7500/15

x = 500

How many real solutions does this system of equations have? xy = 9<br> y = 3x - 1
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

two real, unequal roots

Step-by-step explanation:

y is definied as y = 3x - 1.  Substitute 3x - 1 for y in xy = 9, obtaining:

x(3x - 1) = 9.  Then:

3x^2 - x - 9 = 0.  In this quadratic, the coefficients are a = 3, b = -1 and c = -9.

Calculating the discriminant b^2 - 4ac, we get (-1)^2 - 4(3)(-9), or 1 + 108, or 109.  Because the discriminant is positive, we have two real, unequal roots.
