Answer:
decrease by 2.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.
P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y.
Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10.
You decide if it has a pattern if it is a repeating pattern then it is a rational number decimal however if it a decimal with no pattern it is irrational
2x-4(x+1)=-13
1) we solve this equation:
2x-4(x+1)=-12
2x-4x-4=-12
-2x=-12+4
-2x=-8
x=-8/-2
x=4
2) we evalute x²-1
x²-1=4²-1=16-1=15
Answer: 15
