Answer:

Initial mass = 25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(\frac{x}{x+20}\right)\:=\:\:\left(\frac{x}{x+5}\:-.3\:\right)

x = 20 (mass of copper)

\frac{20}{20+5}  = .8 = 80 percent

\\\frac{20}{20+15}  = .5 = 50 percent

The price of a pair of jeans is $25. If there is a 15% discount, what is the sale price of the jeans?
dusya [7]

Answer:

$29.41

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the discount price is 25 and the original is unknown so call it x. The sale is 15% off and that means that the jeans are 85% of what they used to be since 100-15 is 85. Then you plug it into a formula of 25/x = 85/100 then you cross multiply to get 2500=85x and when you solve for x and round you get $29.41

NEED THE ANSWER ASAP PLEASE
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

AB = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles then the legs are congruent, that is

BC = BA, substitute values

5x - 10 = 3x - 4 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 10 = - 4 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Thus

AB = 3x - 4 = 3(3) - 4 = 9 - 4 = 5

Please Help, I need it for my homework
Naily [24]

Answer:

A)

p1 (0,0) p2 (1,2) given from the graph

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1 )

slope (m) = 2

y = mx+ b

b =0

y = 2x

b)

x = 0

y = 5

(0,5)

C)

gradient = slope

y = 3x + b

point given (0,12)

y = 3x + 12
