No. The amounts of change are the same, but the original amounts are different. The ratio for the percent increase from 50 to 70 is 20/50, or 40%. The ratio for the percent decrease from 70 to 50 is 20/70, or about 29%.

Give work for equations following: -x+2y<-4 2x+3y>6 thanks sooooo much!!!!

Schach [20]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

A) $-x+2y < -4$

$-x+2y-2y < -4-2y$

$-x < -4-2y$

Multiply both sides by -1 and reverse the inequality:

$\left(-x\right)\left(-1\right) > -4\left(-1\right)-2y\left(-1\right)$

$x > 4+2y$

B) $2x+3y > 6$

$2x+3y-3y > 6-3y$

$2x > 6-3y$

$\frac{2x}{2} > \frac{6}{2}-\frac{3y}{2}$

$x > \frac{6-3y}{2}\\x > 3-\frac{3y}{2}$

105% of 260 What is the answer?

damaskus [11]

Percent means parts out of 100
105%=105/100=1.05
'of' means multiply

105% of 260=1.05 times 260=273

What is the positive root of the equation x 2 + 5x = 150? a0

Radda [10]

Solution for x^2+5x=150 equation:
Simplifying x2 + 5x = 150 Reorder the terms: 5x + x2 = 150 Solving 5x + x2 = 150 Solving for variable 'x'. Reorder the terms: -150 + 5x + x2 = 150 + -150 Combine like terms: 150 + -150 = 0 -150 + 5x + x2 = 0 Factor a trinomial. (-15 + -1x)(10 + -1x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-15 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -15 + -1x = 0 Solving -15 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '15' to each side of the equation. -15 + 15 + -1x = 0 + 15 Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 15 -1x = 0 + 15 Combine like terms: 0 + 15 = 15 -1x = 15 Divide each side by '-1'. x = -15 Simplifying x = -15 Subproblem 2Set the factor '(10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 10 + -1x = 0 Solving 10 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-10' to each side of the equation. 10 + -10 + -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -10 -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10 -1x = -10 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 10 Simplifying x = 10Solutionx = {-15, 10}
