They are abstract "word" problems, offered for the purpose of giving the
student of high school mathematics valuable practice in the application
and manipulation of the concept of "percent".
Often, some time spent in solving practice-examples such as these can
lead to the phenomenon known as "learning", whereby the student comes
to know, understand, and possess competence in a topic where he or she
was previously ignorant and incompetent.
It is important to realize that the practice is the vital component in the process,
whereas the answers alone have no value at all.
Answer:
1. 2(k + 3)
2. 3. 75 + k
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2x + 6
Since, 2 is a common factor of 2 and 6, we can take that common outside.
So, 2x + 6 = 2(x + 3)
Note that in the initial expression, this 2 was distributed to arrive at 2x + 6.
2. (1.5 + k) + 2.25
This is simple addition. We can simply remove the brackets to have:
1.5 + k + 2.25
Since, the like terms can be added, we will have:
1.5 + 2. 25 + k
= 3. 75 + k
Answer: x is 90
Step-by-step explanation:
because x-20 is equal to 70
9514 1404 393
Answer:
8.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth factor per year is 1.012, so in 500 years is ...
1.012^500
The number of doublings is the solution to ...
2^n = 1.012^500
Taking logarithms, we have ...
n·log(2) = 500·log(1.012)
n = 500·log(1.012)/log(2) ≈ 8.6046
About 8.6 doublings will take place in 500 years.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Least Common Multiple :The least positive number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.
To find : The least common multiple of: 
and 
Since, 
The least common multiple of: and = 
[take highest power of x and y ]
Hence, the least common multiple of: and =
