Answer:
original number is 18.07
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original number be x
x - 17% of x = 15
x* (1 - 0.17) = 15
x * 0.83 = 15
x = 15/0.83
x = 18.072289156
Or if your wording meant 17% of a number is 15 then:
x * 17% = 15
x *0.17 = 15
x = 15/0.17 = 88.23529...
but I think you meant "decreased by 17%" so I choose x = 18.07
the answer should be: x^2+xy
Answer: b) 15.7
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Look at the z-table (below) to find 0.2500
Notice that the value is not on the table but is between 0.2486 and 0.2517 which are located on the z-table at 0.67 and 0.68
The given value is closer to 0.2486 so use 0.67 as the z-score.
Now, let's find the x-value using the formula: 
Answer:
16 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the question is asking you to find the meters they climbed in all, you can add the absolute values of -8 and +8 to get 16
3xy multiplied by the cube root of y^2
