Well to solve this, lets plug in some numbers. Lets assume that for now, the starting number is 2. If it increases by 100%, bringing it up to 4, then decreases 100%, it is brought down to zero. Now one thing to note is that any number decrease by 100% is automatically zero. Watch, we start with two, it is then increased by 150%, bringing it up to 5, then decreased by 100%, bringing it back down to zero. In conclusion, 100% cannot be specified as a value, but rather a relation. 100% represents the entire number, meaning that if you are decreasing a number by 100%, you are basically subtracting the number by itself!

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x+2y=6?
LekaFEV [45]

first, we can find the slope from the equation that is given buy solving the equation for y

3x+2y = 6

2y = 6-3x

y = 3-3/2x

y = -3/2x+3

now that the equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily see that the slope of the given line is -3/2

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so we can just take the negative reciprocal of the slope we have

-3/2 → 3/2 → 2/3

the slope of the perpendicular line is 2/3

hope this helped

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\bf\:c = \frac{11}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

4c + 2c = 4c + \frac{11}{2}

Cancel 4c on both the sides of the equation.

2c = \frac{11}{2}

Bring the 2 in the denominator of 11/2 to the left hand side of the equation.

2*2c = 11\\4c = 11

Bring 4 to the right hand side if the equation.

\boxed{\bf\:c = \frac{11}{4}}
