<h3>Answer:  0.9999</h3>

Explanation:

Having a 1% increase means we go from 100% to 100%+1% = 101% which converts to the decimal form 1.01; note how you move the decimal point two spots to the left to go from 101% to 1.01

A 1% decrease means we go from 100% to 100%-1% = 99% = 0.99

Multiplying 1.01 and 0.99 leads to 1.01*0.99 = 0.9999

Since 0.9999 = 99.99%, this means we have a 100% - 99.99% = 0.01% decrease overall.

Note: the order of the decrease and increase doesn't matter. You could do the decrease first, then the increase, or vice versa.

use the product rules for each set of () then multiply them together. when multiplying variables with exponents you just add them together like for a^3 * a^5 = a^8.     (a^3 b^12 c^2)^2 = (a^6 b^24 c^4)

What is the value of x?
erica [24]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 4) + (3x + 5) + (2x + 11) = 180°

Combine like terms:

7x + 12 = 180

Subtract 12 on both sides:

7x = 168

Divide 7 on both sides:

x = 24

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

  20 chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

After 136 people are seated in the bleacher, there can be 514 people seated in chairs. We know that 514 = 25×20 +14, so there can be 20 rows of 25 chairs. We require an equal number of chairs in each row, so there cannot be some rows with 21 chairs, nor can there be a 26th row with 14 chairs.

There can be 20 chairs in each row.
