24:N=30:100
Multiply 24 by 100 then divide the product by 30. You'll get the answer which is 80.

A bridge in the shape of an arch connects two cities separated by a river. The two ends of the bridge are located at (–7, –13) a

sdas [7]

Answer:

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of an arch corresponds to a parabola.

the general equation for a parabola is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

we're given three coordinates: (-7,-13),(7,-13) and (0,0)

so we can plug these values in the general equation to make 3 separate equations:

(x,y) = (-7,-13)

$-13=a(-7)^2+b(-7)+c$

$49a-7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (7,-13)

$-13=a(7)^2+b(7)+c$

$49a+7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (0,0)

$0=a(0)^2+b(7)+c$

$c=0$

so we have three equations. and we can solve them simultaneously to find the values of a,b, and c.

we've already found c = 0, let's use substitute it to other equations.

$49a-7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a-7b=-13$

$49a+7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a+7b=-13$

we can solve these two equation using the elimination method, by simply adding the two equations

$\quad\quad49a-7b=-13\\+\quad49a+7b=-13$

------------------------------

$\quad\quad 98a=-26$

$\quad\quad a=-\dfrac{13}{49}$

Now we can plug this value of a in any of the two equations.

$49a-7b=-13$

$49\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)-7b=-13$

$-13-7b=-13$

$-7b=0$

$b=0$

We have the values of a,b, and c. We can plug them in the general equation to find the equation of the arch.

$y=\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)x^2+0x+0$

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

$49y=-13x^2$

This our equation of the arch!

How do I solve this????

Arlecino [84]

Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
hmm say "a" is the smaller, and "b" the greater

so "b" is "4 more than 5 times" "a"

so... 5 times "a" is 5*a or 5a
4 more than "that", will be "that" + 4
or
5a + 4

so.. whatever "a" is, "b" is 5a+4

now, their sum is 22, as opposed to "zz" hehe

so $\bf \begin{cases}
a+b=22\\
--------------\\
\boxed{b}=5a+4\qquad thus\\
--------------\\
a+\boxed{5a+4}=22
\end{cases}$

solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is

what's "b"? well, b = 5a + 4

How do you find percentage lost

Helen [10]

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage increase. :)
