Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is 14=x/100*70 or 14=(x%)*70, either one works

solve for x:

14=x/100*70
14/70=x/100 (Divide each side by 70)
1/5=x/100 (Simplify 14/70)
100/5=x (Multiply each side by 100 to isolate x)
x=20 (Simplify 100/5)
20% (Rewrite as a percent)

hope this helps!!

Answer:

E. x^2 = 39 + 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps to do one piece of the sentence at a time.

"A number, x, squared is 39 more than the product of 10 and x"

"A number, x, squared is 39 more than the product of 10 and x"

x^2 =

"A number, x, squared is 39 more than the product of 10 and x"

x^2 = 39 +

"A number, x, squared is 39 more than the product of 10 and x"

x^2 = 39 + 10x

Answer: E. x^2 = 39 + 10x

Im not sure if anyone knows how to do this but if u do could u pleaseee help me with this!!!

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find the slope of the line.

The slope of the original line is the same as the slope of the parallel line.

Slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

In this case you can choose any 2 set of points on the table.

$m = \frac{4 - 2}{-3 - (-2)}$ = $\frac{4 - 2}{-3 + 2}$ = $\frac{2}{-1}$ = -2

So the slope of the line is -2

2) Use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line.

Point-slope formula:

$y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$

Now plug in the point (0, -5) and the slope -2 into the equation.

y - (-5) = -2(x - 0)

y + 5 = -2(x - 0)

To solve the equation first apply the distributive property.

y + 5 = -2x + 0

y + 5 = -2x

Next, subtract 5 from sides.

y = -2x - 5

You know have your equation in point-slope form!
