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.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

A) Quantity x minus 5 over quantity x plus 1, where x≠-1 and x≠-9

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x^2 + 4x - 45}{x^2 + 10x + 9}$

Simplifying the numerator first:

x² + 4x - 45 using the quadratic formula you get;

(x - 5)(x + 9)

Then simplifying the denominator x² + 10x + 9 using a quadratic formula you get;

(x + 1)(x + 9)

Dividing the numerator and denominator now gives;

$\frac{(x - 5)(x + 9)}{(x + 1)(x + 9)}$

Cancelling (x + 9) throughout leaves you with;

$\frac{x - 5}{x + 1}$

The only restrictions here is if x = 1 and 9 which will give an undefined answer.
