A 75% increase followed by a 50% decrease​

Mathematics
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

12.5% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the initial value

75% increase is 175% of X

= 1.75X

50% decrease = 0.5

0.5(1.75X)

0.875X (less than X, so decrease)

87.5% of X

100 - 87.5 = 12.5% decrease

What is the solution of this system of linear equations?<br><br> 3y = x + 6<br><br> y – x = 3
Naya [18.7K]
<span>3y = x + 6
y – x = 3 ----------->  x=y - 3 (substitute in 1st equation)

3y = y - 3 +6
3y - y = 3
2y = 3
y = 2/3

x= y - 3 = 2/3 -3 = 2/3 - 9/3 =  - 7/3

</span>x= - 7/3, y = 2/3<span>

An 80-m tower is supported by a guy wire attached to the top of the tower. If the wire forms an
nalin [4]

The Sine or Sinθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. The length of the wire is 81.5 meters.

<h3>What is Sine (Sinθ)?</h3>

The Sine or Sinθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. it is given as,

Sin(θ) = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

where,

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle.

The length of the tower is 80 meters, while the angle of elevation is 79°. Therefore, the length of the wire will be the hypotenuse of the triangle. Therefore, the length of the wire is,

Sin(θ) = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

Sin(79°) = 80 meter/Length of the wire

Length of the wire = 81.4973 ≈ 81.5 meters

Hence, the length of the wire is 81.5 meters.
