how do you find a percentage of a number. Provide an example. Well not a specific number put jow do i find it ?

1 answer:

7 0

To find a percentage, if I am ready your question correctly, would be as simple as dividing the number by 100. For example, finding the percentage of 73.

73/100 = .73%

You could also just move the decimal place over two spots to the left.

Solve for x: 4 over x plus 4 over quantity x squared minus 9 equals 3 over quantity x minus 3. (2 points) Select one: a. x = -4

Kay [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{4}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x^2-9}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}$

Domain:

$x\neq0\ \wedge\ x^2-9\neq0\ \wedge\ x-3\neq0\\\\x\neq0\ \wedge\ x\neq\pm3$

solution:

$\dfrac{4}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x^2-3^2}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}$

use <em>(a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²</em>

$\dfrac{4}{x}+\dfrac{4}{(x-3)(x+3)}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}$

multiply both sides by (x - 3) ≠ 0

$\dfrac{4(x-3)}{x}+\dfrac{4(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+3)}=\dfrac{3(x-3)}{x-3}$

cancel (x - 3)

$\dfrac{4(x-3)}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x+3}=3$

subtract $\frac{4(x-3)}{x}$ from both sides

$\dfrac{4}{x+3}=3-\dfrac{4(x-3)}{x}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x+3}=\dfrac{3x}{x}-\dfrac{(4)(x)+(4)(-3)}{x}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x+3}=\dfrac{3x-\bigg(4x-12\bigg)}{x}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x+3}=\dfrac{3x-4x-(-12)}{x}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x+3}=\dfrac{-x+12}{x}$

cross multiply

$(4)(x)=(x+3)(-x+12)$

use FOIL

$4x=(x)(-x)+(x)(12)+(3)(-x)+(3)(12)\\\\4x=-x^2+12x-3x+36$

subtract 4x from both sides

$0=-x^2+12x-3x+36-4x$

combine like terms

$0=-x^2+(12x-3x-4x)+36\\\\0=-x^2+5x+36$

change the signs

$x^2-5x-36=0\\\\x^2-9x+4x-36=0\\\\x(x-9)+4(x-9)=0\\\\(x-9)(x+4)=0$

The product is 0 if one of the factors is 0. Therefore:

$x-9=0\ \vee\ x+4=0$

$x-9=0$ <em>add 9 to both sides</em>

$x=9\in D$

$x+4=0$ <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>

$x=-4\in D$

Solve for w and simplify this fraction 3/2w=-20

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

If I'm correct, the answer should be negative 40/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you first combine multiplied terms into a single fraction, then you multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators. Now you simplify it, by canceling multiplied terms that are in the denominator and then you multiply the numbers. Now you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term. Finally, you will simplify the equation.

(Hope this helps) I had to get a little help myself on this problem)

A traveler traveled for 6 hours and covered a distance of 520 km. He traveled the first 260 km by car, and the rest of the way b

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

57.78 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time taken, t = 6 hours

Total distance covered, d = 520 km

Distance by car = 260

Distance by train = 520 - 260 = 260 km

Train speed = x

Car speed = 2x

Average speed speed = 3x /2

Speed = distance / time

1.5x = 520 / 6

9x = 520

x = 520 / 9

x = 57.777

Average speed of train = 57.78 km/hr
