Answer: The percentage changes is -11\frac{13}{17} \%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the initial weight of the dog = 17 pounds,

After 3 months, the weight of the dog = 15 pounds,

⇒ \text{ The percentage in the weight of the dog} = \frac{\text{ Initial weight-final weight}}{\text{ initial weight}}\times 100

⇒ \text{ The percentage in the weight of the dog} = \frac{15-17}{17}\times 100

= -\frac{2}{17}\times 100

= -\frac{200}{17}

= -11\frac{13}{17}\%

tekilochka [14]

(You forgot to provide the choices!?!)

A.) Cos Z = b/c

B.) Sin X= c/b

C.) Tan X = b/a

D.) Tan Z = a/b


B is the answer, Sin X = c/b is wong because Sin X= b/c ( sin = opposite/ hypotenuse)

Hope this helps.!

Mr. Smith donated $378 to 2 charities. Charity A received 5 times as much as Charity B. How much did Charity B received from Mr
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$63

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent Charity B then Charity A = 5x

Sum the two and equate to 378, that is

x + 5x = 378

6x = 378 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 63

Thus Charity B received $63

Two sidewalks in a park are represented by lines on a coordinate grid. Two points on each of the lines are shown in the tables.
algol [13]

Answer:

y = 2x + 1 ;

y - 3 = - 3(x - 1) ; y = - 3x + 6 ;

Independent ;

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Sidewalk 1:

x __ y

2 _ 5

0 _ 1

Sidewalk 2:

x __ y

1 _ 3

3 _ -3

Equation for sidewalk 1 in slope - intercept form:

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + c

c = intercept ; m = slope

m = (change in y / change in x)

m = (1 - 5) / (0 - 2) = - 4 / - 2 = 2

Y intercept ; value of y when x = 0

(0, 1) ; y = 1

Hence, c = 1

y = 2x + 1

Sidewalk 2:

Point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = slope

m = = (-3 - 3) / (3 - 1) = - 6/2 = - 3

Point (x1, y1) = (1, 3)

y - 3 = - 3(x - 1)

To slope intercept form:

y - 3 = - 3(x - 1)

y - 3 = - 3x + 3

y = - 3x + 3 + 3

y = - 3x + 6

Since the slope of both lines are different, intersection will be at single point and will have a single solution. This makes it independent.

Using substitution method :

y = 2x + 1 - - - (1)

y = - 3x + 6 - - - (2)

Substitute (1) into (2)

2x + 1 = - 3x + 6

2x + 3x = 6 - 1

5x = 5

x = 1

From (1)

y = 2(1) + 1

y = 2 + 1

y = 3

Coordinate of the point of intersection = (1, 3)

A decreased by 20% and then increased by 20% express using algebra<br> asapppppp
Ket [755]

Answer:

96%

Step-by-step explanation:

assume the whole number is x

the first thing is decreasing by 20 %

x - 20%x = 80% x

then now the 80%x is the whole number  

now It's the turn of increasing

80%x + 20% * (80% x) = 80%x + 16%x = 96% x

I hope this is hlepful to you !!!!
