Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The number is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

* Let the 'number' be "x"

* five times a number means "5x"

* decreased by 20 means you are going to use subtraction or minus sign so we have " - 20 "

* increased by means addition

So we have,

5x-20=60+x

Transpose "+x" to the left, and "-20" to the right.

NOTE: When transposing, you change its signs.

So we get,

5x-x=60+20

4x=80

divide both sides of the equation by 4,

So we get,

x=20

Your friend claims that if a line has a slope less than 1, then any line perpendicular to it must have a positive slope. Is your
mezya [45]

Answer:

The friend's claim is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal yo -1)

Example

A given line has a slope of m_1=1/2  ---> (is less than 1)

the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is equal to

m_1*m_2=-1

substitute

(1/2)*m_2=-1

m_2=-2

so

the perpendicular line don't have a positive slope

therefore

The friend's claim is not correct
