Because GH bisects FGI, FGH=HGI
2x+1=3x-9
x=10°
so the measure of HGI is 21°
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = numerator
Let y = denominator
Decreased by 30% = 100% - 30% = 70% = 70/100 = 0.7
Decreased by 50% = 100% - 50% = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5
1.4 as a percentage = 1.4 x 100 = 140%
Therefore, the percentage increase is 140 - 100 = 40%
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
2^6, or 2⁶, is two to the power of six.
Basically you multiply the bottom number (in this case 2) by itself as many times as the the number in the top right (in this case six)
2^6=2*2*2*2*2*2=64
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we are going to make an age table:
Age Now Age 10 years ago
Tanya
Elliot
Filling the in the Age Now column comes from the first sentence. If Elliot is 2 times Tanya's age and we don't know Tanya's age, then Tanya's age is x and Elliot's age is 2x:
Age Now Age 10 years ago
Tanya x
Elliot 2x
Filling in the Age 10 years ago column simply requires that we take their ages in the Age Now column and subtract 10 from each age:
Age Now Age 10 years ago
Tanya x x - 10
Elliot 2x 2x - 10
Since the question is How old is Elliot now based on the fact that 10 years ago....blah, blah, blah, we are using the ages in the 10 years ago column to write our equation. It says:
10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya. Translated into mathspeak:
2x - 10 = 4(x - 10) and
2x - 10 = 4x - 40 and
-2x = -30 so
x = 15. That means that Elliot is 30 and Tanya is 15
