Answer:
a line segment because it never said anything about a curve
Answer:
p = 
and q = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations:
2p - 3q = 4 -----------(i)
3p + 2q = 9 ------------(ii)
Let's solve this equation simultaneously using the <em>elimination method</em>
(a) Multiply equation (i) by 3 and equation (ii) by 2 as follows;
[2p - 3q = 4] x 3
[3p + 2q = 9] x 2
6p - 9q = 12 -------------(iii)
6p + 4q = 18 -------------(iv)
(b) Next, subtract equation (iv) from equation (iii) as follows;
[6p - 9q = 12]
<u> - [6p + 4q = 18] </u>
<u> -13q = -6 </u> -----------------(v)
<u />
<u>(c)</u> Next, make q subject of the formula in equation (v)
q =
(d) Now substitute the value of q = into equation (i) as follows;
2p - 3() = 4
(e) Now, solve for p in d above
<em>Multiply through by 13;</em>
26p - 18 = 52
<em>Collect like terms</em>
26p = 52 + 18
26p = 70
<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>
13p = 35
p =
Therefore, p = and q =
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 (4x - 4) = -2(6x + 7)
1x - 1 = -12x - 14
13x = -13
x = -1
To reverse a percentage decrease you divide it by the decrease (+ 100%)
For example we will pick the number, 100, which is decreased by 15% to 85.
To make 85 back to 100 we divide it by the decrease (1-0.15):
85 / 0.85 = 100
To find out how much 85 increased to get back to 100, we do:
15 / 85 = 0.1765 = %17.65
15 is the reduction/difference, and 85 is the with reduction total.
Because percentages stay the same, this is applicable to any numbers, from this, we know that whenever something is reduced by 15% - when restored to it's original is increased by %17.65
The answer is %17.65
Answer:
I am pretty sure there are 10 people in line.
Since Ashley is the seventh person in line, we can deduce that <u><em>there are 6 people in front of her</em></u>.
Since the amount of people in front of her is "twice as many people as there are behind her," we can divide the value of the people in front of her in half to get the value of people behind her.
6/2 is 3, so <em>there are </em><u><em>3 people behind Ashley</em></u><em>. </em>
Now, lets add the amount of people in front of Ashley to the amount of people behind her. 3 + 6 = 9, and since Ashley is also in the line, we should add 1 to the sum.
9 + 1 = 10, so <u><em>there are 10 people in the line</em></u>.
