Lady bird [3.3K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

204kg

Step-by-step explanation:

New percentage = 100% - 15%

since it is decrease we have to subtract both percentage.

so 100 - 15 = 85%

85% as a decimal = 0.85

To find the new amount, we have to multiply

240 x 0.85 = 204

Remember to add kg

Answer - 204kg

Can someone help me out
stich3 [128]

Answer:

m= -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line containing the points,

\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  = m

where, m is the slope

Here,

m =  \frac{7 - 2}{4 - 12}  =  \frac{  5}{ - 8}  =  \frac{ - 5}{8}

Solve the system by substitution.<br> [-2.5x+y = 13.5<br> 12.25x - y=-12.25
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

x = 5/39 , y = 539/39

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y - 2.5 x = 13.5

12.25 x - y = -12.25

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{y - 2.5 x = 13.5

12.25 x - y = -12.25

y - 2.5 x = y - (5 x)/2 and 13.5 = 27/2:

y - (5 x)/2 = 27/2

Add (5 x)/2 to both sides:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

12.25 x - y = -12.25

Substitute y = 1/2 (5 x + 27) into the second equation:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

1/2 (-5 x - 27) + 12.25 x = -12.25

(-5 x - 27)/2 + 12.25 x = 12.25 x + (-(5 x)/2 - 27/2) = 9.75 x - 27/2:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25

9.75 x - 27/2 = (39 x)/4 - 27/2 and -12.25 = -49/4:

(39 x)/4 - 27/2 = -49/4

Add 27/2 to both sides:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

(39 x)/4 = 5/4

Multiply both sides by 4/39:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

x = 5/39

Substitute x = 5/39 into the first equation:

{y = 539/39

x = 5/39

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = 5/39 , y = 539/39

What is 9x+10-2x+1 simplified?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

11+7x

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

9x + 10 + -2x + 1

Reorder the terms:

10 + 1 + 9x + -2x

Combine like terms: 10 + 1 = 11

11 + 9x + -2x

Combine like terms: 9x + -2x = 7x

11 + 7x

Final result:

11 + 7x
