I thought to say the second sentence because it says that he’s going at a different constant speed but he doesn’t say compared to who... I’m leaning more to the last sentence.
What do you think?
Let the actual size be x, then
(5 x 10^2)x = 1.2 x 10^2
x = (1.2 x 10^2 / 5 x 10^2) = 0.24 millimeters
Therefore, the actual size is 0.24 millimiters.
Since someone answered wrongly I'll try to give the correct answer without the given xs. It won't matter. We're looking for a set of points which satisfy
y = f(x) = x² + 3
A. f(7)=7² + 3 = 52, not -2, so not A.
B. f(-2)=(-2)² + 3 = 7, not 1, so not B
C. f(-2)=7, that's good so far.
f(-2)=(-1)²+3=1+3=4, good
f(0) = 0²+3 = 3, good
f(1)=1²+3 = 4, good
f(2) = 2²+3 = 7, good
Answer: C
We'll rule out D. f(1)=1²+3=4, not -2, so not D.
Answer: Marc still owes $175
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of the rug.
Marc ordered a rug and gave a deposit of 30% of the cost and will pay the rest when the rug is delivered. This means that the amount of money that he deposited
for the rug is
30/100 × x = 0.3 × x = 0.3x
If the deposit was $75, it means that
0.3x = 75
x = 75/0.3 = 250
The cost of the rug is $250
The amount that Marc still owes would be
250 - 75 = $175
