50%, because to exceed is to be larger than, so if A is larger than B by 50%, then that means that B is 50% smaller than A.
Use a let statement
first
let x and x + 2 be the number so you write it like this
<u>let x = the first consecutive integer
</u><u>let x + 2 = the second consecutive integer
</u>
second
x(x+2)=323
x^2 + 2x = 323
-323 -323
x^2 + 2x -323 = 0
third
try to factor -323 so it is 19 and -17
(x + 19) (x - 17) = 0
x = 19
x = -17

Answer:
as 1 mile = 1.609 km
so 5miles = 8.045 km
so 2/3 of the trail = 2/3 × 8.045 = 5.3633333 (ans)
Hope it helps
Answer:
x = -18
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
Multiply 2 to both sides:
(x/2) * 2 = (-9) * 2
x = -9 * 2
x = -18
x = -18 is your answer.

Answer:
option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
average rate of change in steel production over the eight days=-0.15 tons per day
Step-by-step explanation:
The production rate of a steel factory is declining due to old machinery. Over the last eight days production has dropped by 1.2 tons.
Production is dropped by 1.2 tons, so its negative
Average rate of change = Change in production / number of days
Average rate of change = -1.2/ 8= -0.15
so sorry -0.15
