8 percent (C)

To find 1% you divide 4.50 by 100, which is 0.045.

Then you have to find what is added on.
4.86-4.50 is .36

Now you divide .36 by 0.045. An easier way to do this is 360 divided by 45. This equals 8.

Hope this helped

Try this X varies directly as y and jointly as z, and x = 20, when y=3 and z= 4 a. Find the constant b. What is the formula conn
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

as x is direct to y hence

x∝y

also given x∝z combine these two equation we get

x∝y*z

now insert b as constant

x=b*y*z

as given x=20, y=3 , z=4 putt in above equation we get

b=20/3*4 =5/3 =1.666

What situations would solve by graphing be your preferred choice? Give an example.
Damm [24]

Answer:

1) The solve by graphing will the preferred choice when the equation is complex to be easily solved by the other means

Example;

y = x⁵ + 4·x⁴ + 3·x³ + 2·x² + x + 3

2) Solving by substitution is suitable where we have two or more variables in two or more (equal number) of equations

2x + 6y = 16

x + y = 6

We can substitute the value of x = 6 - y, into the first equation and solve from there

3) Solving an equation be Elimination, is suitable when there are two or more equations with coefficients of the form, 2·x + 6·y = 23 and x + y = 16

Multiplying the second equation by 2 and subtracting it from the first equation as follows

2·x + 6·y - 2×(x + y) = 23 - 2 × 16

2·x - 2·x + 6·y - 2·y = 23 - 32

0 + 4·y = -9

4) An example of a linear system that can be solved by all three methods is given as follows;

2·x + 6·y = 23

x + y = 16
