Mathematics
1 answer:
dimaraw [331]3 years ago
4 0
Percent means parts out of 100
15%=15/100=0.15
'of' means multiply

therefor
15% of x equals 12 means
0.15 times x=12
divide both sides by 0.15
x=80



the number is 80

Write the equation of this circle in standard form.<br> please give answer?
Law Incorporation [45]

Given the center (x_0,y_0) and the radius r of a circle, its equation is

(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2=r^2

In your case, the center is (-4,0), and the radius is 2. Plug these values into the generic formula and you'll get the equation.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE A EQUATION OF THIS LINE!!
serious [3.7K]

Answer (<u>assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When knowing the slope of a line and its y-intercept, you can write an equation to represent it in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b format. Substitute the m and b for real values.

1) First, find the slope of the equation, or m. Pick any two points from the line and substitute their x and y values into the slope formula, m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. I chose the points (0, -1) and (-1, 0):

m = \frac{(0)-(-1)}{(-1)-(0)} \\m = \frac{0+1}{-1-0} \\m = \frac{1}{-1} \\m = -1

Thus, the slope is -1.

2) Now, find the y-intercept, or b. The y-intercept of a line is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. By reading the graph, we can see that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,-1), therefore that must be the y-intercept.  

3) Now, substitute the found values into the y = mx + b formula. Substitute -1 for m and -1 for b:

y = -x  -1

What is the first step when estimating the quotient of 36.6 / 5
andre [41]

Answer:

I'm assuming you have 4 options, and if so, the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding 36.6 off to 37 will make it easier to estimate the quotient when dividing by 5. For example, I can easily come up with a solution in my head when dividing 37 to 5 but it's harder for me to come up with a solution to 36.6.
