320 times 0.14 = 44.8
So 45 people are over the age of 65
Answer:
D. negative
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's analyze each answer choice.
A. Zero
A line with a zero slope is a horizontal line. The x values change, but the y values stay the same.
B. Undefined
A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line. The x values don't change and the y values vary.
C. Positive
When a line has a positive slope, the line increases from left to right.
D. Negative
When a line has a negative slope, the line decreases from left to right.
When we move from left to right on the graph, the line moves down. Therefore, this line must have a negative slope and D is correct.
Answer:x=6
Step-by-step explanation:Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 18 = 18
Step-2 : Find two factors of 18 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .
-18 + -1 = -19
-9 + -2 = -11
-6 + -3 = -9 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and -3
x2 - 6x - 3x - 18
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-6)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (x-6)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-3) • (x-6)
Which is the desired factorization
When reading a question, you need to be aware of the numbers presented and the facts. You need to pay attention to the question - what, when, where, how, why or how much. What is being asked in the question is always your clue. Unnecessary information will be eliminated once you understand the question.
Simple example from a Business book:
Jessica Fernandez, manager of Subway, had a bank balance of $5382.12 on March 1. During March, she deposited $60,375.82 received from sales, $3280.18 received as credits from suppliers, and $75.53 as a county tax refund. She paid out $27,282.75 to suppliers, $4280.83 for rent and utilities, and $12,252.23 for salaries and miscellaneous. How much did Fernandez deposit in March?
Answer:
$60,375.82 (sales) + $3280.18 (credits) + $75.53 (refund) = $63,731.53
Fernandez deposit $63,731.53 in March.
The question immediately lead you to the sentence that is the key to the answer.
It is pretty obvious but try to recognize the important facts from the rest.
The question did not ask about Jessica's balance on March 1 or did not ask about how much she pay out. You can immediately eliminate that those information are not necessary to the problem being asked. The question is how much did she deposit in March. You need to find the sentence that points out the answer - During March, she deposited $60,375.82 received from sales, $3280.18 received as credits from suppliers, and $75.53 as a county tax refund. List all the numbers and add them together and you will come up with the figures she deposited. It is just a simple question but it presented the technique for the elimination process of unnecessary facts. It is not "we cannot see the answer" but the truth is we cannot see and understand the question.
Given that triangle m and n are similar, then the implication is the ratio of the corresponding sides are the same and the corresponding angles are equal. This implies that if the two angles of triangle m measure 32° and 93°, then the possible size for the two angles in triangle n will be 32° and 93°.
