Use the percent proportion
21 x
—— = ——
100 300
to solve :
21 x 300 = 6300
6300 ÷ 100 = 63
Answer = 63 of Elmer’s shells are fossilized snail shells :)
The value of y = 40.
5x = 40
x = 8
180 = 40 + 40 + (2y + 20)
40 = y
I think what you meant was
(2x - 5)² = 11 -- (1)
Square root both sides of (1), i.e.
√(2x - 5)² = ± √11 -- (2)
From (2), we have
2x - 5 = ± √11 -- (3)
By adding 5 to both sides in (3), we have
2x = 5 ± √11 -- (4)
Divide both sides of (4) by 2, and we obtain
x = (5 ± √11)/2 -- (5)
From (5), the solution set of (1) is
x = (5 + √11)/2, (5 - √11)/2 ...Ans.
Answer:
$44.45
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert 15 2/5% to decimal, =0.154
38.52+(38.52x0.154) (do this to add the cost of the % increase)
≈$44.45.
Answer:
The answers would be as follows:
3
3
1
1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can tell that the first two have an infinite number of solutions because when we try to solve, we get a true statement. The first one is done for you below.
-6x + 7 = -6x + 7 ------> Add 6x to both sides
7 = 7 (TRUE STATEMENT)
We can tell the next two have no solution due to the fact that they develop a false statement when trying to solve.
-3x + 7 = 3x + 7 ----> Subtract 7 from both sides
-3x = 3x ---> Divide by 3
-x = x (UNTRUE STATEMENT)
