Answer:
132 days to 125.4 days percent of change
Step-by-step explanation:
p= N-O/O x 100% where p is the percent change, is the New value and O is
the Old value. We are given the Old value (132) and the New value (125.4) which we can substitute into the formula to calculate the percent change:
p= 125.4-132/132 x 100%
p= -6.6/132 x 100%
p= (-660/132%)
p= -5%
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 5 to each side.
3x-5+5=1+5
3x=6
Divide each side by 3.
Your answer would be x=2.
"Isolate the constant by adding 7 to both sides of the equation."
This step separates the non-squareable 7 and the squareable

.
"Add 9 to both sides of

to form a perfect square trinomial while keeping the equation balanced."
After separating the non-squareable, add the number which makes the first or left side a perfect square trinomial. The formula to find the number is:

.
When we plug the values:
Simplify:

"Write the trinomial

as

squared."
When you factor

, you will get

.
"Use the square root property of equality to get

."
The 16 is coming from the part when we add 9. We needed 9 on the left side for a perfect square, but to protect the balance of the equality, we need to add 9 to the right side too. When we add 7 and 9, we got 16, and that is where it came from.
"Isolate the variable x to get solutions of -1 and 7."
To isolate x we branched the plus-minus sign:
So first we want to distribute. (#1)
So, using the distributive property, we can:
5 * 3x - 2y * 5 + 2x + 2 * 2y - 3 * 3x - 3 * 2y
or
15x - 10y + 2x + 4y - 9x - 6y
Now just combine like terms
8x -12y
So for #1 it should be a.
#2: 2x - 3 + 3x - 5
Combine Like Terms:
2x + 3x - 3 - 5
5x - 8
So it should be b.
