First let that number be y.
List the equation by the given info.
y x 112/100 = 56
Shift y to the other side by turning it to ÷y.
112/100 = 56/y
Use cross method,
100 x 56 = 112y
5600 = 112y
y = 50
Therefore that number is 50

Answer:
x-intercept: (16, 0)
y-intercept: (0, 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Each intercept is found by setting the other variable to zero and solving for the variable of interest.
I like to find the intercepts from this form because it basically involves dividing the constant by the variable coefficient.
<u>x-intercept</u>
y = 0, so we have 4x = 64 ⇒ x = 64/4 = 16
x-intercept is (16, 0)
<u>y-intercept</u>
x = 0, so we have 8y = 64 ⇒ y = 64/8 = 8
y-intercept is (0, 8)

<em>Additional comment</em>
There is a form of the linear equation called the "intercept form" that looks like this:
x/a +y/b = 1
where 'a' is the x-intercept and 'b' is the y-intercept.
You can get this form by dividing the standard form equation by the constant. Here, that gives ...
4x/64 +8y/64 = 1
x/16 +y/8 = 1
This is nice because it gives both intercepts with one operation (divide by the constant). It's easy enough to do, but not always easy to explain. This form of the equation of a line is rarely seen.
Answer:
The correct answer is - 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of people = y = 39x+50
Total amount spent y = 518
Solution:
The equation for the number of people who attended the dinner
y = 39x+50
The cost of dinner is equally divided by number of people =
then, 518 = y
placing value, 518 = 39x+50
x = (518-50)/39
= 468/39
= 12
Then number of people attended the dinner = 12
Answer:
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x2+6
= 6+6
= 12
y = 12
