Answer: 40 books

Step-by-step explanation: 20%=8 Books

100 divided by 20 = 5

8 x 5 = 40

Divide 20% by 100 to obtain its decimal form. Dividing 20% by 100 equals 0.2. Set up an equation as 0.2x = 8 which means 20% of x equals 8. Solve the equation by dividing each side by 0.2, Dividing 0.2 from each side results in x=40 Eight is 20% of 40
So there were 40 books in the room and he took 8 making the books 20% less.

What is y=4/5x+2 written in standard form
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

4x-5y=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line in standard form is in the form

Ax + By = C

where

A is a positive integer, and B, and C are integers

In this problem we have

y=\frac{4}{5}x+2 ----> equation of the line in slope intercept form

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 5 both sides

5y=4x+10

4x-5y=-10

Carlotta is making cookies for a party. Her recipe calls for 2 eggs and 1 3/4 cups of flour. If Carlotta makes a large batch of
yanalaym [24]
Well we know that every 2 eggs requir 1 and 3/4 of flour so the easiest thing to do here (for me at least) is to round the fraction to the nearest whole number which in this case will be 1. Now that that's done we can say every 2 eggs calls for 2 cups of flour. Now all you need to do is multiply 2 by 9 to get 18 then put that in fraction form it'll be 17 and 3/4 cups of flour. I hope this helps!

The ratios of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 3:10:7. Find the measure of the smallest angle. Just write the numeric
Burka [1]
Answer to written question:
3x + 10x + 7x = 180
Combine like terms
20x = 180
Divide by 20
x = 9
Smallest angle 3x = 3*9 = 27 degrees

Answer to question in picture:
30/6x-2 = 36/5x + 13
Cross multiply
30(5x + 13) = 36(6x-2)
Distribute
150x + 390 = 216x - 72
Subtract 150x
390 = 66x - 72
Add 72
462 = 66x
Divide by 66
x = 7
