Answer: 1.08T and (1+8/100)T
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The average temperature two Sundays ago was T degrees Celsius.
Since, last Sunday, the average temperature was 8% higher than the average temperature two Sundays ago.
⇒ The average temperature last Sunday
Since 8%=0.08
Therefore, The average temperature last Sunday
⇒ The average temperature last Sunday
⇒ The average temperature last Sunday
⇒ The average temperature last Sunday
Thus, the right option is 1.08T and (1+8/100)T.
The average is 2. To find the average you add all the numbers then divide the sum by the total amount of numbers.
Answer:
Solution x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3 / (2x+1) = 9 / 3x
Cross multiply
3(3x) = 9(2x + 1)
Distributive property
9x = 18x + 9
Subtract 18x from both sides
-9x = 9
Divide both sides by -9
x = -1
Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.
If the bigger pentagon has side length of 5 units and the smaller pentagon has side length of 1 unit, you can know that the dilation was 1/5 = 0.2
This means that the sides of the big pentagon were multiplied by 0.2 to obtain the smaller pentagon.
