A triangle with a base of 2 and a height of 3.
Double the base and it becomes 4, and double the height and it becomes 6.
Area of the new figure = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 4 * 6 = 2 * 6 = 12
The area of a towelette with double the base and double the height is 12 inches^2.
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
Answer:
The right answer is:
Option OB: f(1) = -9
Common difference: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given sequence is:
-9, -2, 5, 12,...
Here the first number is f(1)
Common Difference:
Common difference is the difference between consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence. It is denoted by d.
In the given sequence,
f(1) = -9
f(2) = -2
f(3) = 5
Hence,
The right answer is:
Option OB: f(1) = -9
Common difference: 7
Answer:
Ron got 3 additional toppings
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call the amount of toppings that Ron got t. With this, we can set up the following equation:
8.95+0.65t=10.90
Subtract 8.95 from both sides:
0.65t=1.95
Divide both sides by 0.65:
t=3
Hope this helps!
