Hello.

So to solve this problem, you have to find the difference of 72 and 36. So 72 - 36 = 36. 36 will be the percentage. Then you have to find the total, which is 72 + 36 = 108. 
Basically, you have to find 36% of 108. 

36 / 100 = 0.36
0.36 x 108 = 38.88 

Have a great day! :)

What is the rate of change and initial value for the linear relation that includes the points shown in the table?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Initial value 12, rate of change: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the rate of change

we know that

In a linear equation the rate of change is equal to the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to  

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

A(1,10)\ B(2,8)  

Substitute the values  

m=\frac{8-10}{2-1}

m=-2  ----> rate of change

Step 2

Find the initial value

The equation of  the line into slope-point form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Substitute

y-10=-2(x-1)

y=-2x+2+10y=-2x+12

The initial value is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero (is the y-intercept)

y=-2*0+12=12----> initial value

In the accompanying diagram of parallelogram ABCD, LaTeX: m\angle A=x+17 m ∠ A = x + 17 and LaTeX: m\angle C=2x-4 m ∠ C = 2 x −
jek_recluse [69]
Answer:
x = 21

Explanation:
In a parallelogram, each two opposite angles are equal.

In the given parallelogram ABCD, we can note that angles A and C are opposite angles. This means that they have equal measures.

Therefore:
∠A = ∠C
x + 17 = 2x - 4
17 + 4 = 2x - x
x = 21

We can check:
angle A = 21 + 17 = 38°
angle C = 2(21) - 4 = 38°
They are equal

Hope this helps :)
