Answer:

10% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is:

\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100

Therefore, for this example:

\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100=\frac{135-150}{150} \times 100=-10\%

The negative value indicates that the change was a decrease. Therefore, there was a 10% decrease.

Answer:

(1.13, 7.74) and (-4.13, 18.26)

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved in two ways:  mathematically and graphically.

<u>Graphing</u>

Plot both lines and find where they intersect.  See the attachment.

The intersection points are (1.13, 7.74) and (-4.13, 18.26)

<u>Mathematical</u>

y + 2x = 10

y = 10 - 2x

y = 3x² + 7x - 4

10 - 2x = 3x² + 7x - 4

3x² + 9x - 14 = 0

Solve this using the quadratic equation:

x = 1.13 and -4.13

Use these two values of x to find y:

y = 10 - 2x

y = 10 - 2(1.13)

y = 7.74

y = 10 -2x

y = 10 -2(-4.13)

y =  18.26

The two points are:

(1.13, 7.74) and (-4.13, 18.26)

remember
\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}
so

\frac{5^6}{5^5}=5^{6-5}=5^1=5

Find the value of the following expression:
Illusion [34]
Ok, so first you solve whatever is in the parentheses.
(28 • 5-5 • 190)-2•228
28• 5 = 140
Then 5 •190 = 950
Then multiply 950 • 140 = 133,000
Then it should look like this:
133,000-2•228
Multiply 2 • 228 = 456
Then subtract 456 from 133,000.
The answer should come out to 132,544.
