The area of this rectangle is x*y. But, this problem requires that you represent the variable "y" in terms of "x" only.
A hint here is that the variable "y" represent a point on the line that connects the end points (0,b) and (a,0).
The first step to solve this problem is to get the expression of this line.
The slope of this line is: m = (0 - b)/(a - 0) = -b/a
Because the point (x,y) is on this line we have: y - b = m(x - 0)
y = (-b/a)x + b
Solution: Area of the rectangle = x*y = x*((-b/a)x + b) = (-b/a)x2 +bx
Hello! 2/5 as a decimal would be 40%! 2/5=20/50=40/100=40%! hope this helped! ;)
37. 37-4=33 33÷3=11 hope i helped
Answer:
$46.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount the sale item costs now is 0.85($55) = $46.75.
That 85% is equivalent to 0.85.
First, subtract k from both sides. That means c - k is in the left side and 3x is on the right. Then, divide by 3 on both sides. So, the answer is x = (c - k) / 3.
