5+3a = 3-2a
So
5a = -2
a=-2/5=-0.4
Solve your inequality step-by-step.
7(x+4)>0
Simplify both sides of the inequality.
7x+28>0
Subtract 28 from both sides
.
7x+28−28>0−28
7x>−28
Divide both sides by 7.
7x/7 > −28/7
x > −4
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
Answer: Melanie swam 63 minutes more in second week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given , Time taken by Melanie in first week to swim = 142 minutes
Combined time taken by her in first two weeks in swimming = 347 minutes
Now , time taken by her in second week = (Combined time of first two week) - (Time taken in first week)
= 347-142 minutes
= 205 minutes
Clearly , 205 > 142 i.e. She swam more in second week than first week./
Difference i= 205-142 = 63
Therefore, Melanie swam 63 minutes more in second week.
Answer:
2 sides of the patio are 9ft and another 2 sides are 15ft
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we have to know thata rectangle has 4 sides and 2 of them are equal to each other
This is the formula to calculate perimeter
p = perimeter 48 ft
a = side a = 9 ft
b = side b
p = 2a + 2b
we replace the known values
48ft = 2*9ft + 2b
48ft = 18ft + 2b
48ft - 18ft = 2b
30 / 2 = b
15 = b
2 sides of the patio are 9ft and another 2 sides are 15ft
