Given data:
The given biology percentage is B=40%.
The given chemistry percentage is C=24%.
The percenage of earth science as compare to physics is E=P+4%.
The expresion for the sum of all subjects is,
B+C+E+P=100%
40%+24%+E+P=100%
E+P=36%.............................(I)
Substitute given value in the above expression.
P+4%+P=36%
2P=32%
P=16%
The nummber of students assigned earth science is,
E=16%+4%
=20%
Thus, the percentage of the students assigned to the physics subject is 16%.
Remark
When talking about straight lines, D is never true. Never.
C is possible, but in this case not true. Read on.
B. Might be true but in this case it is not. The lines (to be parallel) have to have the same number in front of the x. These two lines do when you divide through by 5. But the y intercept has to be different. That is not so in this case. So B is incorrect.
A is your answer. If you divide through by 5 on the second one, you get the first one. They are identical.
Answer: D.
Step-by-step explanation: First you find the common factor, which is 5x³y. Then you write in parenthesis what's left over from each term. So the answer should look like: 5x³y(-3x⁵-4z+9).
