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.

N = 875

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>

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope through(-3,2), slope = -
arlik [135]
So basycilly slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y intercept
slope=-1
subsiute
y=-1x+b
y=-x+b
so we are given the point (-3,2)
x=-3 and y=2 is one solution
subsitue and solve for b
2=-(-3)+b
2=3+b
subtract 3 from both sides
-1=b

the slopt inercetp form is y=-x-1
