Answer:
3.5% decrease means 96.5% remaining
0.965(16)
4.25% decrease means 95.75% remaining
0.9575(0.965(16))
= 14.7838 grams
Answer:
A) x=9/2 B) x=-1/5, 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-9=27/1-5x
3x-9=27-5x
3x-(-5x)-9=27
3x+5x-9=27
8x-9=27
8x=27+9
8x=36
x=36/8
simplify
x=9/2
Answer: x=9/2
-----------------------------
10x-1/x=3
(10x^2-1)/x=3
10x^2-1=3*x
10x^2-1=3x
10x^2-3x-1=0
factor out the trinomial,
find two numbers that when they multiply,
you get the third term, which is -1 in this case.
When you add those 2 numbers, you get the second term,
which is -3 in this case.
(5x+1)(2x-1)=0
apply the zero property from here,
set 5x+1=0 and 2x-1=0 and solve for x.
5x=0-1=-1, x=-1/5,
2x=0+1=1, 2x=1, x=1/2.
So x=-1/5, 1/2.
Answer: x = 12 and y = -8
Explanation:
x + y = 4
4x + 3y = 24
———————
-3(x + y = 4)
4x + 3y = 24
———————-
-3x - 3y = -12
4x + 3y = 24
———————
x = 12
If x = 12
x + y = 4
12 + y = 4
y = -8
