Let the variable x represent the answer.

85% $= 0.85 = 85 / 100$

$120/x=100/85$

$(120/x)*x=(100/85)*x$ 

- we multiply both sides of the equation by x

$120=1.17647058824*x$

- we divide both sides of the equation by (1.17647058824) to get x

$120/1.17647058824=x$ 

 $
x=102$

Which equation represents the function graphed on the coordinate plane?????

Y_Kistochka [10]

Since you haven't provided the graph, I'll explain each one and you choose the one suiting your given.

The parent modulus function is:

g(x) = |x|

It is centered at the origin and opens upwards.

A coefficient inside the modulus |x+k| means that the function is shifted along the x-axis

If "k" is positive, the shift will be to the left. If "k" is negative, the shift will be to the right.

A coefficient outside the modulus |x| + h means that the function is shifted along the y-axis

If "h" is positive, the shift will be upwards. If "h" is negative, the shift will be downwards.

Now, let's check each of the options:

g(x) = |x+4| - 2 :

This function is shifted 4 units to the left and 2 units down. It will be centered at (-4,-2). Check the blue graph in the attachment.

g(x) = |x-4| - 2 :

This function is shifted 4 units to the right and 2 units down. It will be centered at (4,-2). Check the black graph in the attachment.

g(x) = |x-2| - 4 :

This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units down. It will be centered at (2,-4). Check the red graph in the attachment.

g(x) = |x-2| + 4 :

This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units up. It will be centered at (2,4). Check the green graph in the attachment.

All 4 graphs are shown in the attached picture.

Hope this helps :)

Find the missing side of this right a triangle? help pls

yaroslaw [1]

Hi, there!

_____

To find the missing side length of this triangle (which is a right triangle), we'll use Pythagoras' Theorem.

$-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow\boldsymbol{a^2+b^2=c^2}$

Here,

$\textsc{legs:}\begin{cases} \bold{a}\\\bold{b} \end{cases}$

Hypotenuse (the longest side): c

We know that

$\bold{a=2 \ and \ b=28}$

So, we can substitute our parameters, and solve for c.

$\bold{2^2+28^2=c^2}$ $-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow$ square 2 and 28

$\bold{4+784=c^2}$ $-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow$ add the numbers

$\bold{788=c^2}$ $-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow$ square root both sides

$\bold{\sqrt{788}=c}$

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!

PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer:

76.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the proportion

$\frac{120}{100}$ → Percent is out of 100

$\frac{120}{100}$ = $\frac{n}{64}$ ( cross- multiply )

100n = 7680 ( divide both sides by 100 )

n = 76.8

Answer: $ 81,000

Step-by-step explanation:
