Answer:
12.94%
Step-by-step explanation:
r = 100(1/2)^(d/5) = 100((1/2)^(1/5))^d ≈ 100(.87055)^d
The daily decrease is 1 - 0.87055 = 0.12944 ≈ 12.94%
I think it is -2, if that helps
x = total amount of students in 8th Grade.
we know only one-thrid of the class went, so (1/3)x or x/3 went.
we also know 5 coaches went too, and that the total amount of that is 41.

now, to verify, well, what do you get for (108/3) + 5?
Answer:
(12-7x)
Step-by-step explanation:
144 − 49x²
by observation, we can see that 144 = 12² and 49 = 7²
hence we can rewrite the equation
144 − 49x²
= 12² - 7²x²
= 12² - (7x)²
recall that the expression x² - y² = (x+y)(x-y)
hence,
12² - (7x)²
= (12 + 7x)(12-7x)
(12-7x) appears in the expression above, hence 12 -7x is a factor
