So the equation here is
95*(1+x) = 109.25
solve for x

1+x = (109.25/95)
x = (109.25/95) -1
x = .15 or 15%

An instructional video is 4.2 minutes long. How long is the video in seconds? How long is it in hours?

valkas [14]

First we convert it in seconds.

Number of seconds in 1 minute = 60 seconds
Therefore,
Number of seconds in 4.2 minutes = 4.2 x 60 = 252 seconds.

Next we convert it in hours.

60 minutes make up an hour. So we can write,
Number of hours in 60 minutes = 1 hour
Number of hours in 1 minute = 1/60 hour
Number of hours in 4.2 minutes = 1/60 x 4.2 = 0.07 hour

Therefore, the video is 252 seconds or 0.07 hour long.

2x + 3y = 26 3x + 5y = 40 find x and y I will give brainliest

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

x = 10 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply first equation by 5 and 2nd equation by 3 then subtract equation 1 and 2, we get,

10x+15y= 130

9x+15y=120

( -) (-) (-)

x= 10

substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get

2x + 3y = 26

2*10 + 3y = 26

3y = 26-20

y =6/3

y= 2.i hope this helps
