I think you mean like a number decreasing at a percentage. Yea it’s gonna be positive cause like it’s a number but then it’s probably gonna say decreasing making it negative or increasing making it positive. I’m pretty sure, correct if I’m wrong.
How much part can sally paint in an hour ?
a ÷ 7 = a/7
And what about Steve ?
a ÷ 9 = a/9
Where, a is the total area of the room.
So, let the time taken by both of them to paint the room together be 't'
So,
t(a/7 + a/9) = a
t(9a/63 + 7a/63) = a
t(16a/63) = a
t = 63/16 ≈ 4 hr
Answer: D
Explanation:
Since we don't know the y-value of the vertex, let's do this an easy way: plugging in.
Let's use the y intercept since that would be the easiest. Since x=0, the terms with x cancel, and you will get a leading result of -5
A) results in 2, so eliminate it
B) results in -2, so eliminate it
C) results in 5, so eliminate it
D) results in -5, so keep it
Since D was the only one that worked, that is our correct answer.
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation

- Multiply both sides by 7

- Simplify
2x = 42
- Divide both sides by 2

- Simplify
x = 21
