Perpendicular slopes multiply to -1, so are <em>negative reciprocals.</em>
-1 / -3 = 1/3
Answer: B. 1/3
Answer:
The numbers are 14 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one of the numbers be x. The second number we are told is 3 less than twice x. The second number will thus be;
2x - 3
The sum of the numbers is thus;
x + (2x - 3) = 3x - 3
But the sum of the numbers is said to be 39, therefore;
3x - 3 = 39
3x = 42
x = 14
The second number is thus;
2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25
3t + 4s = $83
4t + 1s = $50 (x 4)
16t + 4s = $200
3t + 4s = $83 (minus them£
13t = $117 (divide by 13)
t = $9
sub t into first equation.
3 x 9 = 27
27 + 4s = $83
4s = $56
s = $14
t = $9
s = $14
It decrease and it percentage is 53
