X = 9
y = 6
Step by step:
Divide 15 by 2: 15 ÷ 2 = 7.5
Subtract 0.5 from 7.5 (this will later be added back): 7.5 - 0.5 = 7
Subtract 1 from 7 (she wants to buy at least 2 more children books): 7 - 1 = 6
Subtract 6 from 15 (6 being the number of puzzle books, 15 being the total number of items): 15 - 6 = 9 (number of children books)
Loge 70.81 = a
Log to the base e is also written as ln
ln 70.81 = a
3/-7 is equivalent to -3/7z
Answer:
a) -10 b) 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 2(x+ 3) = x - 4
2x + 6 = x - 4
2x - x = -6 - 4
x = -10
b) 4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)
20x - 8 = 18x + 6
20x - 18x = 6 + 8
2x = 14
x = 14/2
x = 7
D) 65% decrease.
I worked it out by: 268 mill - 94 mill (calculating the difference in money)
then divided that by the original 268 mill, to finally get 0.64925....
And since the money is decreasing, it is a 65% decrease.
Hope this helps, and I think it should be right - but maybe double check in case :)
