Answer:
1. 37.5
2. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. the smaller triangle and the bigger triangle are similar, so the sides are also similar.
this means that 16/46 = 20/(x+20)
then, just solve that for x
16/46 = 20/(x+20)
divide both sides by 4
4/46 = 5/(x+20)
multiply both sides by (x + 20)
(x+20) * 4/46 = 5
multiply both sides by 46
4x + 80 = 230
subtract 80
4x = 150
divide 4
x = 37.5
2. do the same thing ( still similar triangles)
the equation would be (3x + 1)/10 = (7x - 1)/22
solve
22(3x + 1) = 10(7x - 1)
66x + 22 = 70x - 10
32 = 4x
x = 8
Answer:
80% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage change can be calculated using ...
percent change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%
= (16/80 -1) × 100%
= -0.80 × 100% = -80%
The minus sign indicates the change was a decrease.
From Saturday to Tuesday, customers decreased 80%.
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3
put in an positive number for x and check
2 - 5 = -3
5 - 2 = 3
- 2 + 5 = 3
5 + (-2) = 2
so the only different one is the first
