Answer:

option d

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

40% of x = 0.40x

Increased by 40% = 28

That is ,

           x + 0.40x = 28

               1.40x = 28

                   x = \frac{28}{1.40}\\

                  x = \frac{28 \times 100}{1.40 \times  100 } = \frac{28 \times 100}{140} =\frac{4 \times 100}{20} = 4 \times 5 = 20

Therefore, the number is 20

Answer:

d. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

28 ÷ (100%+40%)

= 28 ÷ 140%

= 28 ÷ 1.4 = 20

A(9,2) B(1,6)<br> if (2,k) is equidistant from A and B, find the value of k.
Pani-rosa [81]
P is the point (2,k)
PA = PB
PA = √(49 + (2-k)²) and PB = √(1 + (6 - k)²)
√(49 + (2-k)²) = √(1 + (6 - k)²) => (49 + (2-k)² = (1 + (6 - k)²
=> 49 + 4 - 4k + k² = 1 + 36 - 12k + k² => 8k = 37 - 53 = -16 => k = -2

A DEF has vertices D(-5,-1), E (3, 3), and F (1,-5). Find the equation of the altitude through F in
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

y = -2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

- the altitude trough F is a perpendicular line to the line DE

- find slope of line DE

D ( x2 = -5, y2 = -1); E (x1 = 3, y1 = 3)

slope m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (-1-3) / (-5-3) = -4/ -8 = 1/2

-find equation of the altitude trough F

lines that are perpendicular have the slope negative reciprocal (negative reciprocal of 1/2 is -2)

y= -2x +b , for point F(1, -5)

-5 = -2*1 +b, add 2 to both sides

-5 +2 = b, combine like terms

-3 =b

equation of the altitude trough F is y = -2x -3
