Answer:

61.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

% increase in the number : 7

Thus , actual increase in number will be 7% of x = 7/100 of x = 7x/100

Thus, new number with 7% increase = x+ 7x/100

given that value of new number with 7% increase is 66

Thus,

x+ 7x/100 = 66

=> (100x+7x)/100 = 66

=> 107 x = 66*100

=> x = 6600/107 = 61.682

Thus, original number is 61.682

but we have to find the number to nearest tenth .

original number is 61.7

What is the y intercept of the line? X=24,36,48 and y= -8, 1, 10

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

y intercept = - 40

Step-by-step explanation:

x 24 36 48

y -8 1 10

y = ax + b

a is the gradient (or slope).

b = y intercept.

a = (48-36) / (10-1) = 12/9

Rewrite to solve for b, which means it starts with b = ...

b = y - 12/9 * x

Substitute one point ( 24 , -8 )

b = -8 - (12/9 * 24)

b = y intercept = - 40

In what table does y vary directly with x?

timurjin [86]

Answer:

The phrase “ y varies directly as x” or “ y is directly proportional to x” means that as x gets bigger, so does y, and as x gets smaller, so does y. That concept can be translated in two ways. for some constant k. The k is called the constant of proportionality. Therefore a chance of probability is a binary table.

A small explanation would be really appreciated

shutvik [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 angles marked with orange and green are equal becos the question said that the indicated angles are congruent meaning same deg. so 180 - that given angle = the 2 marked angles (based on the rule known as angles on a str line are supplementary)

since the 2 marked angles are same, you can say that d and k are parallel due to the rule of alternate angles
