115% of x =120

115/100*x=120

23/20*x=120

23/20=120/x

x=20*120/23

x=104,34

115% is the same as 1.15
some number = x

115% of some number is 120
1.15 of x is 120
1.15 * x = 120
$\frac{1.15*x}{1.15} = \frac{120}{1.15}$
x = 104.3478
x ≈ 104.3

Hope this helps! :)

What are the solutions of the inequality (x-3)(x+5)<=0

GarryVolchara [31]

Assuming that the inequality you were going for was a ≤, set both polynomials less than or equal to 0.

x - 3 ≤ 0

x + 5 ≤ 0

For the first equation add 3 to both sides of the inequality. For the second, subtract 5 from both sides.

x ≤ 3

x ≤ - 5

These would be your solutions I guess, however, if you want to expand upon that, your actual answer is (- ∞, - 5] because if you were to plot these two inequalities on a number line, that is where the overlap would occur.

On a coordinate plane, point A is located at (7, 4), and point B is located at (-8, 4). What is the distance between the two poi

wel

Answer:

Solution given;

A(x1,y1)=(7,4)

B(x2,y2)=(-8,4)

distance AB=?

we have

d= $\sqrt{(x2-x1) ²+(y2-y1) ²}$
