Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with x.

x = x/1

Increase the numerator by 60% to 1.6x.

Decrease the numerator by 20% to 0.8.

The new fraction is

1.6x/0.8

Do the division.

1.6x/0.8 = 2x

The fraction increased from x to 2x. It became double of what it was. From x to 2x, the increase is x. Since x was the original number x is 100%.

The increase is 100%.

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

let fraction be x/y

numerator increased by 60%

=x+60%ofx

=8x

denominator increased by 20%

=y+20%of y

so the increased fraction is 4x/3y

let the fraction is increased by a%

then

x/y +a%of (x/y)=4x/3y

or, a%of(x/y)=x/3y

a\% =  \frac{x}{3y}  \times \frac{y}{x}

therefore a=33

anda%=33%

Teo spins the spinner 120 times. He expects to land on one particular color 30 times. What color is it?
olasank [31]

Answer:

Red

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 30/120 = 1/4

The spinner is divided into 8 equal sections.  1/4 of 8 is 2.  So we're looking for a color that appears on exactly 2 of the sections.

The color is red.

1. is he equation true , false, or open
RideAnS [48]

Question 1:

For this case we have the following equation:

 5x ^ 2 = 6x + 11

We observe that the equation is a polynomial of the second degree.

Therefore, the equation has two possible solutions.

The variable of the equation for this case is x.

In this case, we have an open equation because we have a variable.

Rewriting the equation we have:

5x ^ 2 - 6x - 11 = 0

Answer:

open, there is a variable.


Question 2:

For this case we have the following equation:

 2-8x = -6

From here, we must clear the value of x.

For this, we follow the following steps:

1) Pass the value of 8x adding:

2 = -6 + 8x

2) Pass the value of 6 adding:

2 + 6 = 8x

3) Add the values ​​on the same side of equality:

 8x = 8

4) Pass the 8 to divide:

x = \frac{8}{8} = 1

Answer:

The value of x is given by:

x = 1


Question 3:

For this case we have the following equation:

 y = x-4

The ordered pair solution is the one that satisfies both sides of the equation.

For the point (6, 2) we have:

x = 6  y = 2

Substituting values ​​we have:

2 = 6-4  2 = 2

We observe that both sides of the equation are equal.

Therefore, the ordered pair solution is (6, 2)

Answer:

An ordered pair that is a solution of the equation y = x-4 is:

(6, 2)
