The puppy gained 7 pounds. So, we must wonder: which percentage of 5 is 7? We can write the proportion

$7\div 5=x\div 100$

and solving for x we have

$x=\dfrac{700}{5}=140$

How many solutions does the equation y=mx have

kherson [118]

Answer:A solution to an equation is the value or values of the variable or variables that make the equation a true statement. Graphically, solutions are the intersections of the graphs of the left side and the right side, or if the equation is written so that one side is zero, we are looking for the x-intercepts (for real solutions.)

Periodic functions can have infinite solutions. For instance, cos(x)=1 has as solutions x=2n*pi, n in ZZ (or n an integer.) Periodic functions can...

1/15.999=x/54.5<br> Does anyone know what to do? I keep getting the answer wrong.

kkurt [141]

Hello!

First, let's write the problem.
$\frac{1}{15.999}=\frac{x}{54.5}$
Let's switch sides now, otherwise, we are going to end up doing it later.
$\frac{x}{54.5}=\frac{1}{15.999}$
Multiply both sides by 54.5.
$\frac{x}{54.5} *54.5 =\frac{1}{15.999}*54.5$
We could also rewrite that as,
$\frac{54.5x}{54.5}=\frac{1\cdot \:54.5}{15.999}$
Simplify.
$\frac{54.5x}{54.5}=x$
$\frac{1\cdot \:54.5}{15.999}=\frac{54.5}{15.999}$
$x=3.40646\dots$
That would be our final answer, we could round it to.
x ≈ 3.40

You can feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding this!
Thanks!
