Answer:
33 1/3 percent smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.
a = b + b*.5
a = b(1.5)
Divide by 1.5
a/1.5 = b
2/3a =b
We want to find (a-b)/a to find the percent decrease
(a-2/3a)/a *100percent
(1/3a)/a* 100 percent
1/3 * 100 percent
33 1/3 percent smaller
1 is the closest to 0 on the number line. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!
I dont really know. you dont know how big the walls are and how far 1 gallon goes so figure how far 1 gallon goes and then divide it by the 1,162.5
Answer:
x=5.6
y=-5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 5y = 14 Equation 1
– 2x + 2y = 0 Equation 2
Simultaneous equation can be solved either through elimination method or substitution method. But we use elimination method for this question
Multiply equation 1 by -2 (the coefficient of x in equation 2) and multiply equation 2 with 3 (the coefficient of x in equation 1), so that x will have the same coefficient in the new equations, and easy to eliminate
-2(3x - 5y = 14)
-6x+10y=-28 Equation 3
3(– 2x + 2y = 0)
-6x+6y=0 Equation 4
Subtract equation 4 from 3 to eliminate x
-6x+10y=-28
-6x+6y=0
-6x-(-6x)=-6x+6x=0
10y-6y=5y
-28-0=-28
5y=-28
y=-28/5
y=-5.6
Substitute for y in equation 2
– 2x + 2y = 0
– 2x + 2(-5.6) = 0
-2x-11.2=0
-2x=11.2
x=-11.2/2
x=5.6
