Answer:

The number is 875

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One:

Convert 40% to a decimal --> .40

Step Two

525 = n - .40n

(525 is equal to a number minus forty percent of a number )

Step Three

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer:

875

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume the original amount X

the new amount = X - ( X × 40% )

525 = (60 × X) ÷ 100

X = ( 525 × 100 ) ÷ 60

<u>X = 875</u>

What are the the transformations of h(x)= -f(x+4)-12
katrin [286]

given f)x) then

- f(x) represents a reflection in the x-axis

f(x + 4 ) represents a shift of 4 units horizontally to the left

f(x) + 12 represents a vertical shift of 12 units down

thus h(x) = f(x + 4 ) - 12

is the graph of f(x), moved 4 units left, 12 units down and reflected in the x- axis

I need to graduate please.<br>Which expression is a perfect cube?<br> x^8<br> y^24<br> m^26<br> s^64
myrzilka [38]
Remember
(a^b)^c=a^{bc}

note that if a^3 is a perfect cube then (a^3)^c is also a perfect cube when c is an integer

(a^3)^c=a^{3c}
so if a number is a perfect cube then the power must be divisible by 3

8 is not divisible by 3
24 is divisible by 3
26 is not divisibley by 3
64 is not divisible by 3

the perfect cube is y^24
