The price of a watch was increased by 20% to £144. What was the price before the increase

Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds

What came first into your mind when you read the word “union"? How did you
vodomira [7]

Answer:

well when you hear "union" you think 'joined' or 'together' since thats what it means, In a mathmatical set of numbers, union means that both of the sets are necessary for the equation to be true. I'm not sure what the sets are in this problem but in order to get "union" from anything, that means that when you checked for your domains, the values that you got had to be part of both the given sets

Solve for x. 4(7x−3)−6=6−4(3x−7) Enter your answer in the box.
olasank [31]

4(7x−3)−6=6−4(3x−7)

Distributive property

28x - 12 - 6 = 6 - 12x + 28

28x - 18 = -12x + 34

28x + 12x = 34 + 18

40x = 52

   x = 52/40

   x = 13/10

or

   x = 1 3/10 (mixed number:  1 and 3/10)

Pre Calc work, I need help with writing piece wise functions from graphs. Can anyone help? Giving brainliest
Andrei [34K]

The definition of the piece-wise function is:

  • f(x) = 2.5x + 1, -2 \leq x \leq 2
  • f(x) = -3, 2 < x < 6.

<h3>What is a piece-wise function?</h3>

A piece-wise function is a function that has different definitions, depending on the input.

In this problem, for inputs between -2 and 2, the function is a line that goes through (-2,-4) and (2,6). The slope is:

m = (6 - (-4))/(2 - (-2)) = 2.5.

The y-intercept is of b = 1, hence the rule is:

f(x) = 2.5x + 1, -2 \leq x \leq 2

For x greater than 2 and less than 6, the function is constant at -3, hence the rule is:

f(x) = -3, 2 < x < 6.
