444 / 555 = 0.8 = 80% are insects

444 is 80% of 555
444 divided by 555 = .8 or .80 or 80%

The sum of three numbers is 8. The third is 9

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

→ First value is 1

→ Second value is 2

→ Third value is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

• let numbers be x, y and z

${ \tt{z = 8y - 9 - - - (eqn \: 1)}} \\ \\ { \tt{10x = 8y - 7 - - - (eqn \: 2)}} \\ \\ { \tt{x + y + z = 8 - - - (eqn \: 3)}}$

• from eqn 2, make x the subject:

${ \tt{x = \frac{8y - 7}{10} }} \\$

• substitute all variables in eqn 3:

${ \tt{ \frac{8y - 7}{10} + y + 8y - 9 = 8}} \\ \\ { \tt{8y - 7 + 10y + 80y - 90 = 80}} \\ \\ { \tt{98y = 177}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: y = 1.8}}}$

• find z

${ \tt{z = 8y - 9}} \\ \\ { \tt{z = 8(1.8) - 9}} \\ \\ { \tt{z = 14.4 - 9}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: z = 5.4 \: }}}$

• find x:

${ \tt{x = \frac{8(1.8) - 7}{10} }} \\ \\ { \tt{x = \frac{7.4}{10} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: x = 0.74 \: }}}$

Rounding to nearest value:

${ \boxed{ \rm{x = 1}}} \\ { \boxed{ \rm{y =2 }}} \\ { \boxed{ \rm{z = 5}}}$

Select the polynomial that is a perfect square trinomial.

Alina [70]

Answer:

16x^2 -8x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial expands as ...

(a +b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2

So, you need to look for a trinomial with first and last terms that are perfect squares and a middle term that is double the product of the roots of those terms.

This pattern matches ...

16x^2 -8x +1 = (4x -1)^2

Please help will name brainliest: Make y the subject of the formula x=a-2by²

lozanna [386]

Answer:

y = ± $\sqrt{\frac{a-x}{2b} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x = a - 2by² ( add 2by² to both sides )

x + 2by² = a ( subtract x from both sides )

2by² = a - x ( divide both sides by 2b )

y² = $\frac{a-x}{2b}$ ( take the square root of both sides )

y = ± $\sqrt{\frac{a-x}{2b} }$

How do i find the shorted distance between the point and the line

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8

4y = -3x+8

y = -3/4+2

The shortest distance between a point and a line is the perpendicular line.

Slope of the perpendicular line: 4/3 and point (-3,-2)

b = -2-(4/3)(-3) = 2

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=4/3x+2

y is equal y

4/3x+2= -3/4x+2

4/3x +3/4x = 2-2

x = 0

Plug x=0 into one of the equations to find y

y = 4/3(0) + 2

y = 2

(0,2) and (-3,-2)

Distance = sqrt [(-3-0)^2 + (-2-2)^2]

Sqrt (-3)^2+ (-4)^2

Sqrt 25 = 5
