Answer:

The decrease is 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets say the Original area is Pi X (Radius^2)

Lets call Radius as R

For the new radius, it would be: R + 0.1R which is 1.1R

The new area is: Pi X 1.1R^2, which going further is 1.21 after squaring 1.1.

The Original area is: Pi X Radius^2

To find the percent decrease, subtract the new area by the original, cross out Pi X Radius squared and you are only left with 21%

I am in middle school so I don't know if it is going to be incorrect, but I ask you to give it a try and tell me if it was right or not. I have barely done this topic but recently I had a bonus homework question on a question almost exactly like this and this is the way I did it and I was correct. Thanks! Hope it helped! :)

Consider the equation: 3(–4n – 9) = 21
hram777 [196]

Answer: N=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP

1

:

STEP

2

:

Pulling out like terms

2.1     Pull out like factors :

  -4n - 9  =   -1 • (4n + 9)

Equation at the end of step

2

:

 -3 • (4n + 9) -  21  = 0

STEP

3

:

STEP

4

:

Pulling out like terms

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  -12n - 48  =   -12 • (n + 4)

Equation at the end of step

4

:

 -12 • (n + 4)  = 0

STEP

5

:

Equations which are never true:

5.1      Solve :    -12   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.2      Solve  :    n+4 = 0

Subtract  4  from both sides of the equation :

                     n = -4

One solution was found :

n = -4
