$x * \frac{25}{100} =40 
$
x * 25 = 40 * 100
x * 25 = 4000

$x = \frac{4000}{25}$

x = 160

the number is 160

The linear combination method is applied to a system of equations as shown.

olga_2 [115]

If you apply the linear combination method to the system like:
4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15
(4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3
2x = 18
Then you can be sure that the solution of all this system is: (9,3). Hope this si what you were looking for

you sold brownies for $3 each.You sold 14 more this week than last week altogether. You made $84. how many brownies did you sell

Luba_88 [7]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation: Altogether you sold x last week, if you do x + 14 which is 2x12 brownies sold, then at 3$ each 3(2x+12)=84 so 6x + 36 = 84

84- 36 = 48/6 = 8

The vertices of a triangle are p(3,7) Q(7,-6) R(-8,7). Name the vertices of the image reflected across the x axis

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

P'(3,-7) Q'(7,6) R'(-8,-7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection across the x-axis

Given a point P(x,y), its reflection across the x-axis will map to point P'(x,-y), i.e., the y-coordinate gets inverted.

We are given the vertices of a triangle P(3,7) Q(7,-6) R(-8,7). The vertices of the image reflected across the x-axis are:

P'(3,-7) Q'(7,6) R'(-8,-7).

The new triangle has vertices P'Q'R'.

A circus acrobat is shot out of a cannon. The equation for the acrobat's pathway can be modeled by h= -16t^2+25. How long will i

Alex_Xolod [135]

For this we almost have the following equation:
$h = -16t ^ 2 + 25
$
We must match the equation to zero:
$-16t ^ 2 + 25 = 0
$
From here, we clear the value of t.
We have then:
$16t ^ 2 = 25

t ^ 2 = 25/16$
We discard the negative root because we are looking for time:
$t = \sqrt{ \frac{25}{16} } 

$
$t = \frac{5}{4}$
Answer:
it will take him to reach the ground about:
$t = \frac{5}{4}$ seconds
