Write an equation y is 20% what is x

Mathematics

Answer:

x + .20 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be x + .20= 1, or 1.00, because if you turn 20% into a decimal, it becomes .20. The total you are trying to find is 1 whole, in which this case it would simply be one as there is no other information. The x is first as if you had the .20 first, you would have to divide each side by .20, which would make x = 5, and that would not make sense.

Finding X: To find, subtract on each side by .20 due to the fact you are adding and need to do the opposite, .20-.20 cancels out and 1.00-.20 is .80, so you are left with x=.80

Inequalities are used to express unequal expressions.

The inequalities from the word problems are:

$\mathbf{m - 3.5 \le -2}$ .
$\mathbf{0 \ge 2x + 1}$ .
$\mathbf{-\frac 12 \ge 2k - 4}$

The statements from the inequalities are:

-4 is not a solution to $\mathbf{x + 8 < -3}$
-6 is not a solution to $\mathbf{10 \le 3 - m}$
-1 is not a solution to $\mathbf{-3x \le -12.5}$

Graph b represents $\mathbf{x > -7}$

<h3>The word problems</h3>

<u>1. A number minus 3.5 is less than or equal to -2</u>

The statement can be broken down into the following expressions

$\mathbf{A\ number\ minus\ 3.5 \to m - 3.5}$

$\mathbf{less\ than\ or\ equal\ to\ -2 \to \le -2}$

So, when the expressions are brought together, we have:

$\mathbf{m - 3.5 \le -2}$

<u>2. Zero is greater than or equal to twice a number x plus 1</u>

The statement can be broken down into the following expressions

$\mathbf{Zero\ is\ greater\ than\ or\ equal\ to \to 0 \ge }$

$\mathbf{twice\ a\ number\ x\ plus\ 1\ \to 2x + 1}$

So, when the expressions are brought together, we have:

$\mathbf{0 \ge 2x + 1}$

<u />

<u>3. -1/2 is at least twice a number k minus 4</u>

The statement can be broken down into the following expressions

$\mathbf{-\frac 12\ is\ at\ least \to -\frac 12 \ge }$

$\mathbf{twice\ a\ number\ k\ minus\ 4\ \to 2k - 4}$

So, when the expressions are brought together, we have:

$\mathbf{-\frac12 \ge 2k - 4}$

None of the options is correct

<h3>The solutions</h3>

<u>4. Tell whether -4 is a solution to x + 8 < -3</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{x + 8$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$\mathbf{x + 8 - 8$

$\mathbf{x$

The above inequality means that:

-4 is not a solution, because -4 is greater than -11

<u>5. Tell whether -6 is a solution to 10 <= 3 - m</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{10 \le 3 - m}$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$\mathbf{10 -3\le 3 - 3 - m}$

$\mathbf{7 \le - m}$

Multiply both sides by -1 (the inequality sign changes)

$\mathbf{-7 \ge m}$

Make m the subject

$\mathbf{m \le -7}$

The above inequality means that:

-6 is not a solution, because -6 is greater than -7

<u>6. Tell whether -1 is a solution to -3x <= -12.5</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{-3x \le -12.5}$

Divide both sides by -3 (the inequality sign changes)

$\mathbf{x \ge 4\frac16}$

The above inequality means that:

<em>x is greater than or equal to </em> $\mathbf{4\frac16}$ <em />

-1 is not a solution, because -1 is less than $\mathbf{4\frac16}$ <em />

<h3>The graph</h3>

The inequality is given as: $\mathbf{x > -7}$

The less than sign (>) means that:

The graph would use an open circle
The arrow must point to the right

Only graph b satisfies this condition

Hence, the graph of $\mathbf{x > -7}$ is graph b

What type of triangle is formed by joining the points D(7, 3), E(8, 1), and F(4, -1)?

attashe74 [19]

$D(7,3) \\
E(8,1) \\
F(4,-1)$

The lengths of the sides of the triangle:
$\overline{DE}=\sqrt{(8-7)^2+(1-3)^2}=\sqrt{1^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{1+4}=\sqrt{5} \\ \\
\overline{DF}=\sqrt{(4-7)^2+(-1-3)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5 \\ \\
\overline{EF}=\sqrt{(4-8)^2+(-1-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{16+4}=\sqrt{20}= \\
=\sqrt{4 \times 5}=2\sqrt{5}$

No sides are equal to each other, so it's a scalene triangle.

Check if the sides satisfy the Pythagorean theorem:
$(\sqrt{5})^2 + (2\sqrt{5})^2=5^2 \\
5+20=25 \\
25=25 \\
true$
They do, so it's a right triangle.

The triangle is a right scalene triangle.

Pavel [41]

A: apples
b: bananas

Your expression could be:

$0.80a + $0.60b = $10.00

----

$0.80 ( 8 ) + $0.60 ( 6 ) = $10.00
$6.40 + 3.60 = $10.00
$10.00 = $10.00
