Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation is 14=x/100*70 or 14=(x%)*70, either one works
solve for x:
- 14=x/100*70
- 14/70=x/100 (Divide each side by 70)
- 1/5=x/100 (Simplify 14/70)
- 100/5=x (Multiply each side by 100 to isolate x)
- x=20 (Simplify 100/5)
- 20% (Rewrite as a percent)
hope this helps!!
I don't really know if the question is complete but...
y = x -10 can be a solution
so y would be -7 when x is 3
14.5% = 0.145
Step-by-step explanation:
The term 'percent' (%) actually means per 100. So when you say 14.5% it means 14.5 per 100. So when you put that into an equation it actually means:
So when you solve it, 14.5% is actually 0.145 and not 14.5.
Your friend is then incorrect because:
14.5% ≠ 14.5
Answer:
$76.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that inflation from last year to this year was 2% and a pair of designer jeans sold for $75 last year. We are asked to find the price of pair of designer jeans this year.
An inflation of 2% will increase the price of pair of jeans by 2%, so price of pair of jeans this year would be $75 plus 2% of $75.




Therefore, the price of pair of jeans would be $76.5 this year.

Answer: 14x - 8</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
I'll use the quadratic formula to find the roots or x intercepts. This slight detour allows us to factor without having to use guess-and-check methods.
The equation is of the form ax^2+bx+c = 0
This leads to...

Now use those roots to form these steps

Refer to the zero product property for more info.
Therefore, the original expression factors fully to (4x-5)(3x+1)
Use the FOIL rule to expand it out and you should get 12x^2-11x-5 again.
----------------------------------------------
We did that factoring so we could find the side lengths of the rectangle.
I'm using the fact that area = length*width
- L = length = 4x-5
- W = width = 3x+1
The order of length and width doesn't matter.
From here, we can then compute the perimeter of the rectangle
P = 2(L+W)
P = 2(4x-5+3x+1)
P = 2(7x-4)
P = 14x - 8
