Which sentence matches the mathematical equation? p-0.40p=0.60p

IRISSAK [1]

P-0.40p = 0.60p

C. Decrease by 40% is the same as multiply by 60%.

Assume that p = 10

10 - 0.40(10) = 0.60(10)
10 - 4 = 6
6 = 6

Based on the above assumption. 40% of 10 is 4 ; and 60% of 10 is 6. So, 10 less 4(40% of 10) is equal to 6 (60% of 10).

Percentage is used because 0.40 and 0.60 will be multiplied with 100% to get the equivalent percentage 0.40 x 100% = 40% ; 0.60 x 100% = 60%

Two problems here I need solved! I need every step, so please have that with your answers!!

Free_Kalibri [48]

QUESTION 1

We want to solve,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-6x+8}$

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-4x - 2x+8}.$

This implies
$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x(x-4) - 2(x - 4)}.$

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{(x-4)(x - 2)}$

We multiply through by LCM of
$(x-4)(x - 2)$

$(x - 2) + x(x-4) = 2$

We expand to get,

$x - 2 + {x}^{2} - 4x= 2$

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x - 2 - 2 = 0$

We split the middle term,

${x}^{2} + - 3x - 4 = 0$

We factor to get,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x- 4 = 0$

$x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = 0$

$(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0$

$x + 1 = 0 \: or \: x - 4 = 0$

$x = - 1 \: or \: x = 4$

But
$x = 4$
is not in the domain of the given equation.

It is an extraneous solution.

$\therefore \: x = - 1$
is the only solution.

QUESTION 2

$\sqrt{x+11} -x=-1$

We add x to both sides,

$\sqrt{x+11} =x-1$

We square both sides,

$x + 11 = (x - 1)^{2}$

We expand to get,

$x + 11 = {x}^{2} - 2x + 1$

This implies,

${x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0$

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,

${x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0$

$x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0$

$(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0$

$x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x - 5 = 0$

$x = - 2 \: or \: x = 5$

But
$x = - 2$
is an extraneous solution

$\therefore \: x = 5$

Sally either walks, cycles or drives to work. She walks about 15% of the time and drives about 3/5 of the time. What percentage

goblinko [34]

Answer: She cycles 25% of the time

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Sally walks 15% of the time.

She drives 3/5 of the time.

We then convert 3/5 to percentage.

Converting to percentage means multiplying by a factor of 100.

Hence, Sally drives 3/5*100 = 60% of the time.

If Sally walks 15% of the time and drives 60% of the time, adding up the percentage time used by these two media of transportation will give us

60% + 15% = 75%

Hence if she cycles for the remainder of the time, expressing it as percentage would mean subtracting the time used in other means by 100%

Hence it will be 100% - 75% = 25%
