So if .6*x is 36. then 36/.6=X=60

You can write this out as:

x - 0.4x = 36

The number minus 40% of the number is 36.  To simplify, combine like terms:

0.6x = 36

Finally, divide each side by 0.6:

x = 60

The original number is 60.

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Equation: 682 = 40x
Slope = 40 (or 40/1)
Y-intercept = 0

In this case,

y = the total
x = the amount of minutes
y-intercept = 0, since there isn’t a b in the equation.
slope = 40, because y = mx + b is 682 = 40x

This should be correct, unless there is missing information in the question.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 13cm and one of its legs
hoa [83]

Answer:

6.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem :

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so,

11^2 + b^2 = 13^2

121 + b^2 = 169

b^2= 48

b = 6.928

Round to the tenth : 6.9

storchak [24]

Answer:

The answer is > (greater than)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is > because if MN is the larger side and the largest angle would be across from the largest side, then that would make the largest angle, angle 2 and that would in turn make 3 the smaller angle. I know this is correct because I got it right.
