Answer:

21x/20 or can be written as x + x/20 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is x

step 1

x is increased by 50%

value of 50% of x = 50/100 *x = x/2

New value after this change = x + 50% increase = x + x/2 = 3x/2

Step 2 The value obtained is decreased by 30%

value of 30% newly found number is = 30% of value found in step 1

value of 30% newly found number is = 30/100 * 3x/2 = 9x/20

This value (9x/2) is subtracted from value found in step 1(3x/2) as given that value obtained is decreased by 30%

new value found after 30% decrease = 3x/2 - 9x/20 = (3x*10 -9x)/20

new value found after 30% decrease = (30x-9x)/20 = 21x/20

Thus, the result of x is increased by 50% and decreased by 30% is 21x/20 = x + x/20

Write an equation in slope-intercept form from the points (0, 3) and (-4,-1)

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

y = x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is represented by the formula $y = mx + b$ . We can write an equation in point-slope form first, then convert it to that form.

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ and substitute the x and y values of the given points into it. Then, simplify to find the slope, or $m$ :

$m = \frac{(-1)-(3)}{(-4)-(0)} \\m = \frac{-1-3}{-4-0} \\m = \frac{-4}{-4} \\m = 1$

Thus, the slope of the line must be 1.

2) Now, since we know a point the line intersects and its slope, use the point-slope formula $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ and substitute values for $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ . From there, we can convert the equation into slope-intercept form.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute 1 in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine) and substitute its x and y values into the equation, too. (I chose (0,3).) Finally, isolate y to find the answer:

$y-3=1(x-0)\\y-3 = x\\y = x + 3$

⦟KLJ and ⦟JLM are a linear pair. Find the measures of ⦟KLJ and ⦟JLM.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 12 + 4x + 8 = 180 {Linear pair}

6x + 4x + 12 + 8 = 180 {Combine like terms}

10x + 20 = 180 {Subtract 20 from both sides}

10x = 180 - 20

10x = 160 {Divide both sides by 10}

x = 160/10

x = 16

m∠KLJ = 6*16 + 12

= 96 +12

= 108

m∠JLM = 4*16 + 8

= 64 + 8

= 72
