Answer:

24.6 % decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original temperature

Increase by 25%

x + .25x

1.25x

Decrease by 40%

The amount decreased is

(1.25x) *.40

.496x

Subtract that from 1.25x

1.25x - .496x

.754x

We need to find the percent decrease

1 - .754 = .246

24.6 % decrease

Answer:

Temperature decreased by 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial temperature be t

Step 1

<u>Increase by 25%:</u>

  • t + 25% = t + 0.25 t = 1.25 t

Step 2

<u>Decrease by 40%:</u>

  • 1.25 t  - 40% = 1.25 t - 0.4 * 1.25 t= 1.25 t - 0.5 t = 0.75 t

Temperature changed from t to 0.75 t

<u>The difference in %:</u>

  • 0.75 t - t = -0.25 t = 25% decrease

<u>Temperature decreased </u>by 25%

The system of equations is solved using the linear combination method.
Alborosie

The interpretation of 0 = -12 is (a) There are no solutions to the system because the equations represent parallel lines.

<h3>How to interpret the result?</h3>

The result is given as:

0 = -12

By comparison 0 and -12 do not have the same value

i.e. 0 ≠ - 12

This means that the system of equation has no solution

Hence, the interpretation of 0 = -12 is (a)

d=dawn's shirts
e=ellen's shirts


a> everybody
b=2.5c
d=(1/3)c
a+b+c+d=120
e=2d+1
e=13
oook

e=13=2d+1
13=2d+1
12=2d
d=6

d=(1/3)c
6=(1/3)c
18=c

b=2.5c
b=2.5(18)
b=45

a+b+c+d=120
a+45+18+6=120
