Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

ok negative times negative = positive

and factors of 24 are

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

4 x 6 are the two consecutive EVEN numbers

so turn it to negative

-4 x -6 = 24

The largest is -4

From 1994 to 1995 the sales of a book decreased by 80%. If the sales in 1996 for the same as in 1994, By what percent did the in

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

400%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sales be "100" in 1994

Since, it decreased 80%, the sales was:

80% = 80/100 = 0.8

0.8 * 100 = 80 (decreased by 80)

So, it was

Sales in 1995: 100 - 80 = 20

Sales in 1996 was same as in 1994, so that's 100

Thus,

Sales in 1994: 100

Sales in 1995: 20

Sales in 1996: 100

We need to find percentage increase form 1995 to 1996, that is what percentage increase is from 20 to 100?

We will use the formula:

$\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100$

Where

New is 100

Old is 20

SO, we have:

$\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100\\=\frac{100-20}{20}*100\\=4*100\\=400$

So, it increased by 400%

Help!!!!!! Will give Brainlist answer!!!! 3 parts pls thank you so much

wariber [46]

Part A
The small red arcs indicate that angles PQS and RQS are congruent.

13x - 1 = 2(6x + 4)

13x - 1 = 12x + 8

x = 9

m<PQR = 13x - 1 = 116

m<RQS = 6x + 4 = 6(9) + 4 = 58

m<PQS = 116 - 58 = 58

Part B

12^2 + (OH)^2 = 13^2

144 + (OH)^2 = 169

(OH)^2 = 25

OH = 5

r = OH = 5

Part C

WZ/ZY = WX/XY

24/12 = 30/XY

2 = 30/XY

2(XY) = 30

XY = 15

What is the value of x?

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

n math, value is a number signifying the result of a calculation or function. So, in the example above, you could tell your teacher that the value of 5 x 6 is 30 or the value of x + y if x = 6 and y = 3 is 9. Value can also refer to a variable or constant. ... A variable is a letter used to signify an unknown number.
