Answer: x= 20
Step-by-step explanation:
If m and n are parallel then the 3x and 2x+20 has to have the same measures which means they have to equal each other . So set them equal each other and solve for x.
2x + 20 = 3x
-2x -2x
20 = 1x
x= 20
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
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.
