To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.

Answer:
4/5 is grater than 45/100
Step-by-step explanation:
Why?
because in percentage you make the bottom # a 100 one of them already has that and when it has 100 on the bottom it tells you that the top # is the percentage so 45/100 is 45%
now to make 4/5 a percentage what times 5 = 100?
20 does
so you times the top and bottom by 20
4*20= 80
now your fraction is 80/100 (top # tells you the %)
it's 80%
80% is grater than 45%
5<em>x</em>² - 7<em>x</em> + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em>) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em> + 49/100 - 49/100) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 2 • 7/10 <em>x</em> + (7/10)²) - 49/20 + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² - 9/20 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/20
(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/100
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± √(9/100)
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 7/10 ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 10/10 = 1 or <em>x</em> = 4/10 = 2/5
Answer:
Rate of change = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
y − 3 = −12(x + 4)
Expanding, we have;
y - 3 = -12x - 48
y = -12x - 48 + 3
y = -12x - 45
Now, formula for rate of change is;
Rate of change = (y(x + h) - y)/h
y(x + h) is; y = -12(x + h) - 45
This gives;
Rate of change = (-12(x + h) - 45 + 12x + 45)/h
Rate of change = (-12x - 12h - 45 + 12x + 45)/h
Rate of change = -12h/h
Rate of change = -12
