Thank you for your question!
The formula is:
x + (x + 2) = -50
Solving:
2x + 2 = -50
2x = -52
x = -26
Finding the second number:
-26 + 2 = -24
-24,-26
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Loss= $175
Loss %= 7%
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, you find the difference between 2500 and 2325 which is 175, as his has decreased, it is a loss of $175
To find the percentage you do the difference over the original amount
So 175/2500 which will give you 0.07
0.07 x 100 will give you 7%
Answer:
the height of the pyramid is 8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the base of the pyramid to be square whose area is 144 sq ft
This means the side of the base would be √144 = 12 ft.
Now, if you will imagine a pyramid we can easily observe that
Height(H) , slant height( L=10 ft) and half of the side length( 6ft) make a right angle triangle. We can easily calculate height from Pythagoras theorem as
10^2 = H^2 +6^2
⇒ H^2 = 10^2-6^2 = 100-36 = 64
⇒ H = 8 ft
Therefore, the height of the pyramid is 8 ft
The answer is 1/2 cuz of simplyfing
