So... we have two numbers
say "a" and "b"

one is larger than the other, let us say, "b" is larger than "a"
by how much?
well, "<span>eight more than three times"
three times the smaller is 3 * a, or 3a
eight more than that is 3a + 8

so b = 3a+ 8
the sum of both of them is 52
so, we know that

a + b = 52

run a substitution on "b" on the 2nd equation, and solve for "a"
once you find "a", plug it back in the 2nd equation, to get "b"

Is f(x)=16-7x a linear function
Sauron [17]
Yes, f(x) = 16 - 7x is a linear function because there are no exponents and the rate of change (which is the slope) only adds or subtracts a certain number each time.

(Marking brainliest and giving 25 points) Which is the best estimate for the percent that is represented by the shaded portion o
agasfer [191]
C, this is because you know that three are shaded in, meaning it is less than 4, making it less than 50% but 40% wouldn’t make sense since it isn’t 4 squares shaded in an area that consists of 10, hope this helped

During a fundraiser, Ms. Dawson’s class raised $560, which is 25% more than Mr. Casey’s class raised. How much money did Mr. Cas
evablogger [386]

Answer:

$420

Step-by-step explanation:

To work this out you would need to find the 25% decrease of 560. To do this you would first divide 25 by 100, which gives you 0.25. Then you would minus 0.25 from 1, which gives you 0.75. This is because when finding percentage decreases you would first have to convert it into a decimal. Then you would have to minus it from 1 , to make sure that it will be a 25% decrease not a 75% decrease. Then you would multiply 560 by 0.75, which gives you 420.

1) Divide 25 by 100.

25/100=0.25

2) Minus 0.25 from 1.

1-0.25=0.75

3) Multiply 560 by 0.75.

560*0.75=$420
