A number increased by 100% and decreased by 20% is x. What is the number ?

1 answer:

8 0

Number y is increased by 100 percent, which can be denoted by y(2), and then decreased by 20 percent, which will further make it y(2)(.8). So the number is 1.6y. Really, you can use any variable, and if you multiply it by 1.6 you will get x

Suppose f(x)= 4x/3+5 and g(x) = x/3 +1. solve for x when f(x)=g(x)

yuradex [85]

$\bf \begin{cases}
f(x)=\cfrac{4x}{3}+5\\\\
g(x)=\cfrac{x}{3}+1
\end{cases}\qquad f(x)=g(x)\implies \cfrac{4x}{3}+5=\cfrac{x}{3}+1$

solve for "x" then

What is the area of the trapezoid shown below?

Olin [163]

Answer:

78 sqr units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to help find the base opposite the two.

The base of the second parallel line is sqrt( (15^2) - (12^2) ) = sqrt(81) = 9

The second base = 9 + 2 = 11

Area = (b1 + b2)*h/2

h = 12

b1 = 2

b2 = 11

h = 12

Area = (11 + 2)*12/2

Area = 13 * 12/2

Area = 78 square units
