Answer:

700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Daily evening newspapers in 2015 = 389

Percentage decrease from 2000 to 2015 = 46.5%

To find:

Number of newspapers in 2000 = ?

Solution:

Let the number of newspapers in 2000 = x

When 46.5% of the total newspapers in 2000 (x) is subtracted from the total  newspapers in 2000 (x), it will be equal to the number of newspapers in 2015.

Making the equation as per the given statement:

x-x\times 46.5\%=389\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{100x-46.5x}{100}=389\\\Rightarrow 53.5x=38900\\\Rightarrow x\approx \bold{727}

Therefore, the answer is:

There were <em>727 </em>newspapers in 2000.

Step-by-step explanation:

- 4x + 3(2x - 5) = 31 \\  - 4x + 6x - 15 = 31 \\ 2x - 15 = 31 \\ 2x = 31 + 15 \\ 2x = 46 \\ x = 46 \div 2 \\ x = 23

What is the equation of this line? Picture included
enot [183]
A straight line needs two pieces of information to be identified, a gradient and a y-intercept (technically any point will do but the y-intercept is particularly convenient if we have it).

The gradient is calculated by taking two points on the line, and dividing the change in y-coordinate by the change in x-coordinate between them. I'm going to take the points (0,-3) and (2,-2).

The change in y-coordinate is (-2) - (-3) = 1

The change in x-coordinate is (2) - (0) = 2.

Gradient = m = 1/2

Next we identify the y-intercept, the value of y when x = 0. This value is -3, and we call it c.

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + c. Slotting in the values for m and c we have ascertained, we find that the equation of this line is:

y = (1/2)x - 3

I hope this helps :)
