Answer:
D) a = - 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x -5y - 7 = 0
5y = 2x - 7
y = 2/5 x - 7
the slope of this line is therefore 2/5 (factor of x).
the perpendicular slope is then (exchange y and x and flip the sign) -5/2, which is then a and the factor of x.
10×6=$60
5×2=$10
60-10=$50.00 more was spent on ice cream
Answer:
-28 + 7x
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
-7(4 - x)
<u>Step 2: Simplify</u>
- Distribute -7: -7(4) - 7(-x)
- Multiply: -28 + 7x
Question
a) What is the decay factor?
b) What is the percent decrease?
c) Estimate the number of black and white TV's sold in 1999.
Answer:
a. Decay factor = 0.85
b. Percent decrease = 15%
c. 19.363 million TVs were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): The decay factor
An exponential function has the form
Where b is:
By comparison:
Solving (b): Percentage decrease:
Percentage decrease P is calculated as follows:
Substitute 0.85 for b
Convert to percentage
Solving (c): TVs sold in 1999
First, we need to determine the value of t for 1999
In 1997, t= 0
In 1998, t= 1
In 1999, t= 2
So, we substitute 2 for t in:
When faced with an unknown variable in a maths problem, it is advised to find the subject formula and then use it to solve the equation to find the answer.
<h3>What is an Unknown Variable?</h3>
This refers to the type of variable in a given equation that has to be solved for because its properties or value is not known.
Hence, we can see that when faced with an unknown variable in a given math problem, it is better to find the subject formula, then input the value of this into an equation, to find the value of the variable.
