Answer: 38 pages per night
Step-by-step explanation:
Tori used to read an average of 40 pages per night but now she is going at a rate that is 5% slower.
To find the number of pages she is reading now, first find 5% of 40 pages:
= 5% * 40
= 2
Then subtract this figure from 40:
= 40 - 2
= 38 pages per night
<em>By deducting 5% from the reading quantity, the person is reading at 5% less. </em>
The slope of the line would be 7
40% = 40 / 100 = 0.4
32 is 40% of what
= 32 / 40
= 32 / 0.4
= 80

U can also use this equation to solve it.
32 = 40%x
Simplfy
= 32 = 2/5x
Flib the equation.
2/5x = 32
Multipy both sides by 5/2
(5/2) * 2/5x = (5/2) * 32
x = 80.

Let's take a look at a perfect square trinomial.

We can distribute this expression to get

.
An important relation to recognize here is that the constant is the square of half of the x value.
Now, if we wanted to add a number to

to make a perfect square trinomial, we could have the value of x and then square it.
Half of 16 is 8, and 8 squared is
