We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:
140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)
solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.
Let me know if I can clear anything else up.
The answer is 6.1 = 6 1/10
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+10=6x+30
8x-6x=30-10
2x=20
x=10
Answer:
a≈18 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
we have given:
an angle,
the adjacent side and
we need to find:
the opposite side
we know that the definition of
tan of an angle = opp. side/ adj. side
tan 61° = a/ 10
multiply both sides by 10
10 * tan61° = a
18.04047755 = a
18 ≈ a
