Answer:

18.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Percentage who rode bus to work last year = x

Percentage who ride bus to work this year = 27.1%

Percentage who ride bus to work this year = [percentage who rode bus to work last year + 47% of percentage who rode bus to work last year]

Mathematically ;

27.1% = x + 47% of x

0.271 = x + (0.47x)

0.271 = x + 0.47x

0.271 = 1.47x

x = 0.271 / 1.47

x = 0.1843537

x = 0.1843537 * 100%

x = 18.435%

x = 18.44%

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2)?
vitfil [10]

The slope of the line passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2) is 2.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

Slope or the gradient is the number or the ratio which determines the direction or the steepness of the line. The slope is also defined as the ratio of the rise to the run.

Given that the line that passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2).

The slope of the line is calculated by the formula,

Slope = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

Slope = ( 6 - 2) / ( -3 + 5)

Slope = 4 / 2

Slope = 2

Therefore, the slope of the line passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2) is 2.

Answer:

3x(2+n)+[7+n]

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is kind of self-explanatory, but think of it this way.  If n=5, then the equation would be 3x(2+5)+[7+5]. First we would solve 2+5 which is 7. Then we would do 7+5 which is 12. We are now left with 3x7+5.
