Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call this number n. Here is the info we can write about it. Remember that to write as a percent as a decimal you divide by 100.

n-0.16n=159.6

We combine like terms.

0.84n=159.6

We divide both sides by 0.84

n=190

Have a wonderful day! :D

Please help me. I need to turn this 2y=3x+32 into standard form. PLEASE HELP
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3x - 2y = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

Ax + By = C

2y = 3x + 32

-3x  -3x

-3x + 2y = 32 (the leading coefficient needs to be positive)

-1(-3x + 2y = 32)

3x - 2y = -32

Hope this helps!

bixtya [17]

Answer:

1) x²-3x+9/4 = 81/4

2) x = 6, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-3x-18=0

x²-3x=18

(b/2)² = (-3/2)² = 9/4; completing the square

x²-3x+9/4 = 18+9/4

(x-3/2)(x-3/2) = 81/4

x - 3/2 = ± 9/2

x = 3/2 ± 9/2

x = 6, -3
