Answer:
The first amount is larger by 25% or .25a
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets increase a by 50%
The increase is .5a
So the new value is a + .5a = 1.5a
Now we will decrease the new value by 50%
decrease = .5 (1.5a) = .75a
The new value of a is 1.5a - .75a = .75a
a > .75a
a - .75a = .25a
a is bigger than .75a by .25a
Answer: 55
Step-by-step explanation: There is one simple theorem we need to know in order to solve for this.
Triangle Angle-Sum Property: All three angles interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°.
Thus, we could label the points A, B, and C, and set up an algebraic expression.
Let A = 27, B = 98, and C = x.
A + B + C = 180°.
Substituting A, B, and C we get:
27 + 98 + x = 180°.
Adding, we get:
125 + x = 180°
Subtracting 125 by 180, we get:
x = 55°
Thus, the angle X is 55°.
We could have simply solved this by just doing 180 - 98 - 27 = 55 in the first place, but I wanted to show you how I got such results.
The answer would be (-3+18) + (i +5i)
This is because changing the order of the numbers does not change the sum
C. It is always a rational number. You cannot determine its sign without knowing the values of a and b.
