Answer:
There can be a number of correct answers. One of them is the ship has traveled 25 miles in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from destination f after x hours for the ship is given by f(x)=120-25x
At the beginning, x=0, f(x)=f(0)=120
After 1 hour, f(x)=f(1)=120-25=95
So in 1 hour, the ship has traveled 120-95=25 miles.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute in -1 for x
8(-1) - 2y = 10
-8 - 2y = 10
Subtract -8 from both sides
-8 - (-8) cancels out to 0
10 - (-8) = 18
We are left with:
-2y = 18
Divide by -2 on both sides.
-2y/-2 = y
18/-2 = -9
y = -9
It depends on what you are trying to calculate but the most common way I go to find percentage is to multiply by the number in decimal for ie. 50% = .5.
If you are looking for a way to do it quickly in your head I always take find out what 10% is like in the case of 100 it would be 10 so if I want to find 15% I know I can find 10% and if I cut what 10% is in half I will find 5% so likewise if I add what 10%+5% I will end up with 15%. For example, 10% of 100 is 10 half of 10 is 5 and 10+5 equals 15. If you need to find something like 20% or 30% I know that I can find 10% and instead of dividing(cutting it in half) I can multiply by 2 or 3. 10% + 10% =20%
I hope it helps, if you have more questions let me know!
