We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:
140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)
solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.
Let me know if I can clear anything else up.
The walls are vertical so the angle opposite X would be a right angle which is 90 degrees.
X would be 180 - 90 - 35 = 55 degrees
X and 2y - 5 are complementary angles which add together to equal 90:
2y - 5 + 55 = 90
Simplify:
2y +50 = 90
Subtract 50 from both sides:
2y = 40
Divide both sides by 2:
y = 20
Any value as long as P = Q
For the equation to have infinitely many solutions, we require both sides of the equation to have exactly the same terms.
All of the angles should be the same because a square has all equal angles and side lengths.
