5(x + 30)
x + 30 represents the number of minutes per day he practices
5 is the number of days he practices
so 5(x+30) = the total number of minutes he practices in 5 days
For example, if he practices the piano for 20 minutes per day and the violin for 30 minutes per day, he practices a total of 50 minutes per day. For 5 days that would be 5 x 50 = 250 minutes in 5 days.
Plug that into the equation
5(x+30) = 5(20+30) = 5(50) = 250
Answer:
HJ = 8 JE = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
it is given that H is the midpoint of GE and J is the midpoint of FE. According to the midpoint theorem the line segment connecting the midpoint of two sides is parallel to the three side and its length is half of the third side. since JH is connecting the midpoints.
HJ= 1/2 (GF)
x + 3 = 1/2 (4x - 4)
x + 3 = 2x - 2
x = 5
^ Thus meaning the value of x is 5.
Now you just fill into your equations:
HJ = x + 3 = (5) + 3 = 8
JE = x - 1 = (5) - 1 = 4
Therefore, HJ = 8; JE = 4.
When solving this equation you get x = -3.
To solve this, simply follow the order of operations for solving.
----> start by dividing both sides by 5
-----> Now you can transform the front side of the equation to use negative exponents.
Since both x and -3 are the powers of x, we can eliminate the 7 and just make the exponents equal.
-3 = x
Answer:
146%
Step-by-step explanation:
If the percent change is positive, it is a percent increase.
If the percent change is negative, it is a percent decrease.
Your numbers are
old price = $0.92
new price = $2.26
Plug in the numbers in the formula above and evaluate the expression.
percent change = ($2.26 - $0.92)/($0.92) * 100%
percent change = ($1.34)/($0.92) * 100%
percent change = 1.4565 * 100%
percent change = 146%
Since the percent change is a positive number, it is a percent increase.
Answer: The percent increase is 146%.
